The director is responsible for the artistic effectiveness of the production as a whole and his/her work normally begins with the script. The Director must be thoroughly familiar with the play in order to cast and rehearse the performers and to guide the members of his production team such as the designers. By examining the play's structure, the Director tries to realize how the playwright creates mood and extracts responses from the audience. He/she may divide the play into sections, analyse the characters behaviour and mood in each section, and then determine how each section relates to those before and after it. The Director must also understand each character's function in the play and what demands the role may make on a performer. Although during the rehearsal process he will want input from the actors and actresses, he will still wish to have an initial sense of each character's personality, physical characteristics, emotional range and vocal qualities. From the script, the Director will visualize the scene, costume and lighting requirements of the production.
