What is one major difference between the roles of film directors and theater directors? a. a theater director is involved in selecting the crew and cast, and a film director is not involved. b. a film director is involved in blocking and lighting the scenes, and a theater director is only involved in lighting scenes. c. a theater director makes adjustments to the performance during rehearsals, and a film director makes adjustments to the performance when shooting scenes. d. a theater director has no role during the performance, and a film director is involved during the shooting of the film. e. a film director has the authority to ask the writers to modify the script, and a theater director cannot modify the dialogue.

so a and d are wrong right off the bat. i'd go for c. hope i !

sorry. my computer broke down and i had about 3 doctor's appointments. i'm just catching up now after reinstalling a router.

i think you best answer to this is d. some film directors were very picky about roles and lighting and and which side of the face the camera should catch. they were also picky about sound and background noise and chatter and music and all sorts of what we would consider trivial things. a stage director has to have all this ironed out before the curtain goes up. if he doesn't he better do it soon. if he doesn't notice, critics soon will, and they are not a very nice bunch.

e: both have the power to ask for rewrites. theater directors are always yammering about act 2.

c is true. both can ask for any number of things during rehearsals. the reason i wouldn't pick c is because a film director can make changes anytime during shooting, including when he thinks they ought to be done shooting.

b i didn't know what blocking was and i can't find a good description. if you have one and think b is true, go for it.

a a film director quite frequency chooses the leading lady or man. he may not have the final word, but he chooses. sometimes a theater director has no choice. a is generally not true.
