A film director is a person who directs the making of a film.Dictionary Definition Generally, a film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects, and visualizes the script while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision. It is the director's sense of drama, along with the creative visualization of the script, that transforms a screenplay into a well-made motion picture.
However, the director doesn't always have absolute artistic control. The director is usually selected by the producer, whose job it is to make the decisions that are in the best interests of the production company or studio or network. As such, the producers have veto power over everything from the script itself to the final cut of the film, often in anywhere from slight to extreme opposition to the director's vision.
Responsibilities
The role of a film director in the creation of a movie is a large one, and typically includes completion of the following tasks:
- Realizing the overall artistic vision of the film.
- Controlling the content and flow of the film's plot.
- Directing the performances of actors, both by putting them in certain positions and by eliciting the required range of emotions.
- Organizing and selecting the locations in which the film will be shot.
- Managing technical details such as the positioning of cameras, the use of lighting, and the timing and content of the film's soundtrack.
