Directing Crash Course

What does the director do? What are their responsibilities on a film?

The director coordinates with the cast and crew in order to communicate the story of the film. A director is not supposed to demand a specific character out of the actor. Instead, they should be able to give a "safe space" where the characters are able to explore who their characters are and how they would act in the situation. However, this does not mean that the director can give vague idea to the actor. As a result, the actor must give clear instructions but while also giving giving them space to contribute their own skill as an actor.
