	Filmmakers.com: The Film Director
		Judging from the comments of most professional directors, there is very little agreement as to what exactly their function is. There are some directors who say that they must concentrate primarily on the structures of the script.
		The director, whether he explicitly controls all the subordinate work in a film or merely creates a certain context through his very presence, is the only participant in a film's creation whose moment of self-expression is wide enough and, thus, whose artistic vision may come to characterize the film as a whole.
		When it is said that the director approaches a film with a sense of the whole in mind, obviously it is not meant that he has a complete knowledge of the finished product in all its parts.

		While most independent directors decide on and approve the edit of their film, studio directors are often at the mercy of studio executives or producers when deciding on the final cut.
		A director should also be able to communicate well with people and perhaps most importantly be able to see both the small details of the project as well as maintaining an overview of the bigger picture.
		In theory the director should already have largely pieced the pieces of the puzzle together in his head before the film starts and then oversee that the pieces are correctly aligned during the making of the project.

		When the film is stopped, the camera shutter, which is geared to the film-transport mechanism, is opened for approximately 1/35 second and a single picture, or frame, is photographed on the film.
		The projector uses a shutter to block the light while the film is being transported to the next frame, a mechanism to transport the film, and a lens to focus the image on a screen, the size of which is limited by the capabilities of the lens and the amount of available light.
		When such a film is projected, the actual time of growth is diminished several thousandfold, and in the projected picture the plant apparently springs from the earth and unfolds its leaves in a matter of seconds.

	Film Director
		In most cases, directors work on films far longer than any actor, technician or editor, from the first day of brainstorming to the final release; it is no wonder that directing is physically, mentally, and emotionally draining.
		A director guides actors to a greater understanding of their characters’ motivations and encourages them to perform at a high level, sometimes by gently cajoling; sometimes by yelling.
		Film school students must complete their own short films by graduation; you should be prepared to work under difficult conditions, share space, and convince actors to work for little or no money.

		Director Elliot Silverstein, chair of the 1978 Creative Rights Negotiating Committee, recalled that "Our concern was that the use of more than one director (and if two why not three or four, etc.?) would lead to the producer becoming an über director and the director(s) becoming messengers.
		Over the last few decades, the single director to a film rule has protected directors from having the will of someone else, be it a producer, writer, actor or another, from imposing themselves on the director's role.
		Though Joe and Anthony Russo had written their low-budget independent films together, it was the fact that they had directed both the non-Guild feature length film Pieces and the short The Kiss together, as well as interviews with the brothers, that resulted in the WDC granting them a waiver to co-direct Welcome to Collinwood.

	Film Director
		In film theory, it is sometimes used as a way to 'pick apart' a movie and write about it.
		Mise-en-scene is a concept that was transposed from the theatre, where it meant that the director took into account everything that appeared on the stage; he took into account the effect of everything that appeared in the 'frame' of onstage space.
		In film there are many scenes where the screen is empty of character and where that emptiness mobilises and moves the narrative.

	Lord of the Recordings - The film director as DJ. By Adam Baer
		Film music, as I hinted around Oscar time last year, is a fiddly art: While strong movie music should flavor and pace a film, it shouldn't divert you from the narrative.
		When a director looks for a composer these days, it's usually to write incidental music to be played between the pre-released pop hits that form the real soundtrack of the film.
		Directors who employ pre-composed soundtrack music would seem to think so: Not only are they willing to entrust their work to existing recordings, but they also borrow heavily on those recordings' resonance and meaning.

	Pirates of the Caribbean: Cruse of the Honest Director, In Film Australia
		During a recent interview director Gore Verbinski revealed that he is currently shooting two Pirates of the Caribbean sequels back-to-back, with both scripts constantly in flux.
		So the sacrifice is often made at script level: the film moves ahead before people are happy with the script (perhaps with the rationalisation that it can be fixed on the run).
		However, usually the best a director can hope for is to paper over the plotholes and make something moderately entertaining out of their ramshackle first draft script.
