We cannot talk about directing without talking about creativity and vision. Visual works are produced by a team of creatives such as the editor, photographer, scriptwriter, lighting director, etc. Everyone has a clear and tangible job except the director, who has no clear job except to assign all the creativity in order to embody his visual vision for the work he is doing. He leads and manages the work in all its stages.

If the specialized work of lighting, sound, presentation, etc. has a clear form and a specific nature, then directing in the studio adjusts the different rhythms with creative standards in the first place, and it is not necessary to follow one framework or one form of directing.

What increases the importance of directing in the studio is that each program has a different color, as directing entertainment programs differs from the way talk shows, drama, news programs, satirical programs, etc. are directed.
