It is the director's first task to discover a central mood or idea in the text of the play to be performed that will serve as a unifying determinant for the interpretation of individual scenes and characters. Then he or she must work out the movement of the actors on stage and the pacing of each line and scene. Finally the director helps plan the lighting scenery sound effects and musical accompaniment for the production. All the director's efforts are aimed at creating a fully unified aesthetic experience.
