What does a movie director do?

Question by Kate: What does a movie director do?
What is his job in the process of making a movie? Who is in charge of how the actors will speak and act, the scenes that will be in the movie, and who approves the script and writes it? Who is in charge of the scenery?

Best answer:

Answer by Sabrina
the movie director is someone who controls the set and tells people what to do and if they are doing it right or not. the script has to go to the director after it is finished to apprive it and the scenery and the setting plans are done from the director as well. However, the people who do the world are the cast crew (the extra ppl that help out with the set)
