Producers and Directors

Producers:
A film producer is in charge of selecting appropriate screenplay and also is in charge of overseeing the film-making process. A producer is usually in more contact with the client than other memebers of the filming crew, and so is in charge of the more organisation part of the process. An executive producer is somebody who has moreof an interest in teh financial aspect of the film-making, and is in charge of the fundraising and budgeting of teh project. They are also in charge of the hiring of other crew members, such as the film director, other producers and accountants.

Directors:
Under the Film Producer, a Film Director is in charge of teh creative aspects of the film. The Film Director is in charge of the aesthetics of the film, and are in charge of making the film suit the needs of the target audience of the film. The director will work more closely to the Cast and Crew than the producer, and help to shape the film by doing rehearsals and discussing how the different scenes should look and be like. The director also plays a key part of the post-production process, so they talk to the editors and discuss how the film should look.
