They all collaborate on a vision, but what you see on screen if the final call of the director (as far as shots, the exacutives tend to have final say in the editing at times which sucks).

And that's not a little thing, some movies were completely ruined because of the executive decisions in the editing, Orson Welles always said Citizen Kane was the ONLY movie where he had real control, all the others were modified by someone else, not him.

Oh man...The Magnificent Ambersons. It causes me physical pain when I remember the movie's deleted footage, which was burned by the studio to save space. It's gone. Forever.
