The role of a director for multi-cam productions includes being responsible for watching over the cameras, lighting, microphones, props and any other mise en scene during shooting, the director controls the positioning of cameras within the studio space calling in which shot to use during filming, it is also the directors responsibility to maintain order amongst the staff in the control room, on the set and elsewhere within the department. The director is the paintbrush to a blank canvas, they paint a vision, the director's commands must be artistic, distinct and moderate. While talking to camera operators, the director might ask them to perform a action for example: a crab, a PED or tracking.
- Crab - move their camera either left or right, e.g. crab left (move left)
- PED - move the shot either up or down e.g. PED UP (move the camera up)
- Tracking - to either move towards the guests/ host or object or move away from them e.g. tracking in (move towards them)
- Floor Ready - (Asked to FM) to confirm that floor is ready for shooting within the studio.
