Role of a Film Director

A film director is the captain of the ship. He has complete control over a film's visual creativity and he is the person who guides the technical crew and actors towards the completion of the film. The director has a major say in choosing the cast , planning the production design, and the other creative aspects of the film production.
A capable Directors should have the ability to sort out creative differences and stay within the boundaries of the film's stipulated budget. T
Every Director has a different approach. Some outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue, while others control every aspect, and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely. 

The Director requires skills of group leadership, excellent communication skills, as well as the ability to maintain a singular focus even in all circumstances. Since he is responsible for the film  it is essential for him to give precise feedback to cast and crew,

The success of a film depends on the successful cooperation of many different creative individuals with possibly strongly contradicting artistic ideals and visions, so it is essential for the director to possess conflict resolution skills in order to mediate and come to a consensus whenever necessary.

Directors also play an important role in post-production. The director has to be in constant touch with the film editor to assemble an editor's cut later to be upgraded to the director's cut. The director is one of the few positions that requires intimate involvement during every stage of film production making it highly stressful and demanding.
