When I think of a director I automatically think of someone who is confident in what they do and someone who is ready to take on any task. Being a director consists of many jobs, you have to be ready to take on anything and give it your all, I think of it as you are running a team, if you are not confident on what you do when directing then your crew wont feel confident in what they do or you.
One of the first known directors was George II, the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen (1826-1914), it is to be said that he was the birth of directors. George II is credited as the first modern director and his wealth allowed him to construct his own theatre and organise a resident company of actors and artists.
Some things that a director has to go over before any rehearsal or filming can happen is the theme, characters, language, plot and most importantly the script. The director has to cast the right actors to suit certain characters from a production.
Some of the many responsibilities that a director holds are, they have to read and reread a script over and over again so that they can come up with a vision of the story and so they are able to visualise locations and how they would like the characters to look. Directors and producers will work closely together to cast people for a production and do location scouting along with many other aspects of a production. They will also work closely with the director of photography to decide where the cameras will be placed when it comes to filming and where actors will need to be placed.
One of the main aspects that a director needs to think about is budget, they have to be able to create and carry out the entire production in the set budget, if the director was to go over budget then it is possible that the production could not be completed. Depending on the type of production and how big the production actually is, depends on what the set budget is for the director.
