What is the role of the director?

The job of  a film director is one of the most important roles when creating a film. Their job involves many creative aspects whilst organising a production team. They are the main person needed to make a film as they control everything.  They include;
-Bringing the author/ screen writer's vision to life
-Overseeing the work of the film producer
-They cut the script into short sequences, and decide on the camera angles that will work well with certain events
-They normally conduct a rehersal so that they know how the scene will look and if any small changes need to be made e.g. the way an actor speaks a line
-Once the film is finished they work closely with the editor to ensure that certain emotions are portrayed well through editing, the composition of shots are correct and that the sound matches on screen actions.

Examples:
Steven Spielberg- War Horse, Shindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Transformers, War of the Worlds, Jurassic Park, ET, Indiana Jones etc.
Tim Burton-Edward Scissor Hands, Alice in Wonderland, Sweeny Todd, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Corpse Bride
Guy Ritchie- Rock'n'Rolla, Sherlock Holmes, Suspect
