The Director interprets the script and unifies the components of the film into something that bears his or her signature. This individual is like an orchestra conductor. The Director must be able to lead and control people, have them do what he or she wants them to do, yet remain on good terms. While in production, the Director not only oversees actors, but also advises the Director of Photography, instructs the major technical people, administrates the flow of people, consults on budgets, and deals with outside pressures. The Director is ultimately responsible for what happens on the set.
