They also tell the camera operators to cut when they think the scene is to their liking. They also decide weather or not they should film another take.
A Film Director controls a films artistic and dramatic aspects and visualises screenplay (or the script) while guiding the technical crew and actors to make their visions come to life. The Director choose the cast members, Production Designers and all the creative aspects of the shoot.

The role entails working the camera and rolling it just after the Assistant Director has asked. The Camera Operator cuts the camera after the Directors says cut.
