Because I always see that the directors of movies are given much more significance.

Think of a director like a CEO of a mini company. He controls the aspects of production by hiring directors that lead the departments to fulfill his (and the production company’s) vision. Those directors will then hire managers to lead their subteams.
Obviously not all movies will have all of these departments. Not all movies have stunts. Not all movies have location shooting. Not all movies have composers.
I may be missing a few departments, but this is most of them.
He or She will hire the:
DP – Director of Photography. The person in charge of anything related to directly capturing what’s going on. They will have a team of camera operators, lighting guys, electricians, etc in charge of capturing the film.
Casting Director – In charge of hiring the actors.
Art Director – In charge of the art department which includes the production team, the set design, makeup, costumes, sculptures, miniatures, painters, storyboarders, animation, special and visual effects, etc.
Editor – Edits the movie. This includes both film editing and sound editing
Stunt Director – Handles the stunts
Composer – In charge of the music department. They hire all the performers, compose the music, musical mixing, musical design, etc.
Transportation Director – In charge of transportation. Driving everyone to all the different locations where filming will take place.
