In the film industry, directors play a central role as creative leaders responsible for the overall artistic vision of a movie. They not only direct the production process, but also ensure that every element in the movie works harmoniously to deliver a strong and compelling story. For Digital Content Broadcasting undergraduate students , understanding the roles and responsibilities of directors is an important step in preparing themselves to enter the competitive world of digital content production.

What is a Movie Director?

Directors are individuals who are responsible for both the creative and technical aspects of film production. They interpret the script, direct the actors, and work closely with the production team to realize a consistent artistic vision. As the leader of the project, directors must have strong communication skills, creativity, and a deep understanding of the various aspects of film production.

Director’s Tasks in the Pre-Production Stage

The pre-production stage is the preparation phase before the filming process begins. The director has an important role in this stage, including:

• Concept Development and Artistic Vision: The director works closely with the screenwriter to develop the story and determine the visual style to be used.

• Cast and Crew Selection: Determining actors who fit the characters in the script and recruiting a competent production team.

• Technical Planning: Together with the production team, the director plans technical aspects such as shooting locations, lighting, and set design.

• Storyboarding: Creating scene visualizations to guide the filming process and ensure visual consistency.

In the S1 Digital Content Broadcasting program, students are taught to understand and apply the pre-production process in a professional manner, preparing them to face challenges in digital content production.

Duties of the Director in the Production Stage

The production stage is the phase where the shooting process is carried out according to the plan that has been drawn up. The director’s duties in this stage include:

• Organizing and Directing Actors: Provide direction to actors to ensure performances are appropriate to the character and storyline.

• Music and Sound Preparation: Adding background music, sound effects, and mixing audio to create the desired atmosphere.
