What is the role of the director in the creation of a film?

The director is the artistic director or the soul of artistic creation.

Actors, photographers, sound recorders and artists in a film and television crew should create according to the general policy of artistic creation put forward and determined by the director. At the shooting scene, actors, photographers, sound recorders and lighting should all obey the director's command, make high-level scenes and shoot.

In film and television production, the importance of the director is self-evident, from copywriting to script, customer communication, all preparations for shooting, and even post-production, the director needs to run through it.

First, the preparation before shooting

Film and television production evaluation: set design and production costs, crew costs, actor costs, clothing costs, film costs, development costs, special effects costs, equipment costs and so on.

Shooting plan: shooting time, scene location, etc.

Second, the official shooting

In film and television production, directors are basically consistent throughout the production process. He has a dual identity, that is, he is the director of the advertising production process and also the server, in order to serve customers.

Third, post-production.

The director is also an editor. If there is animation or special effects in the advertisement, the director should also communicate with the animator and the special effects teacher. When dubbing the advertisement, the director also needs to communicate with the sound engineer and tell them when to have rhythm and sound effects.

The director is the core of the whole team in film and television production, and he should control the overall situation. This requires the director to predict everything before the film production starts to ensure the smooth completion of the film.

Even if the director doesn't take photos and edit them himself, he will participate to the greatest extent. The set, the choice of actors and the training all reflect the director's will (I can't help it if you insist on the producer). For the contribution of a film, the writer and the actor, photographer and editor are at one level, and the director is at another level.
