2  The film producer
 
provides and controls the budget and may have a say in 
marketing, too. There are also producers who are more hands-on and like to 
take part in the director’s creative role, too. 
 
The film director’s role is fundamental the whole way through production. 
During the pre-production phase, s/he is responsible for casting the actors 
and technical crews and finding locations for the shooting. During production, 
directors supervise the creative aspects of the film (for example, actors’ 
rehearsals) and the technical ones (for example, the camera and sound 
teams’ work). In short, they make sure the written film script is rendered 
effectively onto the screen. During post-production, s/he works closely with 
editors in selecting shots and editing. A good director needs to have a wide 
creative vision to produce an original and involving film. S/he has to make 
quick decisions and needs to have the makings of an assertive, but very 
communicative leader, ready to delegate and believe in team work. 
 
The director of photography is responsible for the general ‘look’ of the film and 
has the responsibility of filming a scene according to the director’s wishes. S/he 
may also operate cameras, select lenses, and supervise lighting operations, 
technical maintenance and service. 
 
The sound director is responsible for the film’s sound requirements, from 
the design and planning pre-production phase through to recording and 
scheduling in production. S/he also manages the quality of the final mix in 
post-production.
