Role of director in films

What does a director do in films?

A director is involved in almost every stage of the film or project. Directors must work closely with department heads and technicians because they have a massive impact on the final product. A director manages the creative aspects of the production. They visualise the script to make the film simultaneously guiding the actors and technical team.

All the things directors need to do- 

• Interpret scripts
• Set the tone of the film
• Work with department heads
• Work with casting directors to find talent
• Direct actors and the camera
• Work with editors to assemble the film
• Work with sound and music departments

Directors usually enter in the pre-production stage and the development stage is taken care of by writers and producers.

An example of a famous film director is Alfred Hitchcock. He is well known for his thriller movies such as psycho or vertigo.
