Directors are one of the most important factor that determine whether a project will be successful or not. They are responsible for the look and sound of a production as well as its technical standards. Moreover, directors work closely with producers and writers enhancing, refining and improvising the originals ideas into a finished output in the form of a programme. One of their major responsibilities included remaining faithful to the original concept.
