Directions Unit- A director

The definition of director is

  • a person who is in charge of activity, department or organisation. 
  • a person who supervises the actors and staff in a film, play or similar production. 
Others think that a director is the driving creative force in a film's production, and acts as the crucial link between the production, technical and creative teams. Directors are responsible for creatively translating the film's written script into actual images and sounds on the screen-he or she must visualise and define the style and structure of the film, then act as both story teller and team leader to bring this version to reality. 

The director needs to make a directors statement to convey to its team and to others. The directors statement is a compliment of the creative decisions made my the director before the production stage. This includes; casting, locations and cinematography. All creative decisions should be included in this document. The photos below show the ideas that can be put into the directors statement, using examples of the type of atmosphere you would like to create with different props and use of location.
