job description and activities
contacts and resources
Film directors take overall responsibility for the look, sound and style of a film. Their job usually starts once they receive the script, although in the case of some feature films the director may also be the scriptwriter. It is the director's artistic vision that will guide the work of the film crew as they search for suitable locations, hire the cast, design the sets and lighting and finally edit and dub the finished recording.
Typical work activities include:
interpreting the script;
developing storyboards;
directing actors;
managing technical details, for example camera shots and the use of lighting;
making decisions about location and design;
liaising with the producer, for example when editing the final 'cut';
managing the work of the other production staff and delegating tasks accordingly to realise the final production.
Directors may come from a range of different backgrounds (e.g. production, camera, editing) but most importantly they will have substantial experience in the industry.
Most film directors are based either in London or in one of the larger cities in the UK. For more information see Television/film/video producer
