Chinatown is a great reference to use for screenplay adaption.
I'm a newly graduated film student with the intentions to take the industry by storm. As a Director I am the visionary and set the tone for the film regardless of genres.
Directors are as important as the camera itself. Without it you have no picture. Literally.
"Great directors dissolve and disappear into the work, while making other people look good." -Alexander MacKendrick
If you want to grow in your appreciation for what a great director adds to a film, sit down and read a published screenplay of a film like say, "CHINATOWN" and then watch the film. You'll begin to notice all the things that the director brings to the film, that weren't mentioned in the screenplay. Through camera movement, working with his cinematographer on composition and lighting, getting the right performances from the actors, use of music, editing, etc,. you'll see how a great director sets and maintains the right TONE for the film.
