Direction is a matter of emphasis. In telling a story, the task of the director is to emphasize what is significant by under-emphasizing what is less so. The actors’ performances, the camera’s coverage of the performances, and the film editor’s reconstruction of these during post-production: all are designed to make certain things more significant than others to the audience.
