Overall Summary
Guy Ritchie, Micheal Bay and Tyler Perry are oustanding directors. They direct most of the movies we see today. A director’s main duties include casting, editing scripts and composing, selecting and editing shots. Directors must also be aware of the of budget and schedule. Directors are responsible for the artistic and commercial success or failure of a film or television show.
Since there is so much responsibility involved with the job of being a director, it requires the ability to know when and what to delegate to others. Many times that’s where the assistant director comes in. All directors need actors, producers, stage hands, lighting, sound, set designer and costume designer. They all add to the final product of the production. I would enjoy being a director because I love taking the lead!
