During pre-production, the Director is in charge of making decisions and organising aspects of the show regarding cameras, lighting, audio coverage, props, scripts and the set itself. During filming, they are in charge of communicating through CANs to the camera operators to position shots that they require, as well as calling to which shot they want to film.
It is also their job to remain calm, and to maintain order amongst the crew not just in the control rooms but to those on set aswell. Director's commands should be accurate, clear, specific, artistic and calm. Examples of such commands are:
"Crab right" - meaning they want a certain camera to move the camera to the right of the subject.
"PED up" - instructing a certain camera operator to adjust the camera height so it is higher.
"Track forwards" - another call given to a camera operator, informing them to move the camera towards the subject.
"Go to an OS/2S shot" - asking the camera operator to change the shot type.
"Floor ready?" - asking the FM to confirm if the crew and talent in the studio are ready to start filming.
"Roll DVD" - instructing the DVD operater to play a certain track.
Overall the Director is the person in charge of the whole production.
