It seems that today, everyone has dreams of being a famous director, their biggest ambition heading a multi-million Hollywood production. But what exactly IS a director? Well, by definition, the director creatively translates the written word or script into specific sounds and images. He or she visualizes the script by giving abstract concepts concrete form. The director establishes a point of view on the action that helps to determine the selection of shots, camera placements and movements, and the staging of the action. The director is responsible for the dramatic structure, pace, and directional flow of the sounds and visual images. He or she must maintain viewer interest. The director works with the talent and crew, staging and plotting action, refining the master shooting script, supervising setups and rehearsals, as well as giving commands and suggestions throughout the recording and editing. For our Project we have looked at a variety of different film directors. Although there are a great number of great and successful movie-makers, we have chosen 6 which we think have distinct and contrasting syles and are some of the best in the industry.
