4. Directors are needed in all types of TV and Movie related
filming. The director’s responsibility is to take charge and
control the environment, telling actors and other working
members of the group what to do and how to do it. They
usually decide how to film scenes, where actors should
stand and keep everyone on track. As directors have a lot of
responsibilities, on larger TV shows and Films, there are
usually 2 or 3 directors.
