The director of a single camera shoot will tend to be as close to the “action” as possible. This way they can direct the actor as needed throughout the duration of the shoot giving them actionable notes on their acting, blocking, dialogue or any number of things. The director is sometimes positioned near the camera watching the live action of the actor or huddled slightly off camera with other key crew members (writers, producers, executives, etc.) watching on a monitor that is plugged into the main camera. This way they can be sure that the cinematographer is getting the proper shot.
Those who had full time jobs directing movies, television shows, news programs and stage productions earned a median salary of $70,660 in 2011 (U.S.).
