Yes That's what it means. The director is to find a clever and interesting way to close the scene.

Hmmm Maybe it means the director is supposed to find a cute way of closing the item?
Caroline Makrop (asker) Feb 26, 2010:
The context is a script for a satirical news broadcast. At the end it says in the instructions/description of what's happening (i.e. not the dialogue):
Κλείνει το δελτίο (σκηνοθετικό εύρημα)
Then it swaps to another (filming) location.

More context please This doesn't mean much to me as it stands...

directing device

Συμφωνώ αρχικά κατά πολύ με το "gimmick", αλλά στην πορεία κάτι με παρέπεμπε σε "επινόηση" και άλλα παράγωγα, κυρίως μέσα από λογοτεχνία. Έτσι, μου ήρθε στο μυαλό το "plot device", στην ουσία ένα μέσο, ένα "gimmick" (!!) used to propel plot and action.
Το "device" λοιπόν χρησιμοποιείται και στη λογοτεχνία και στο θέατρο: the special use of words in literature or of words, lights, etc in a play, to achieve an effect...
Τώρα, εδώ θα έλεγα "directing device", εφόσον σου κάνει.
Hope that helps!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Dave Bindon : also "director's device" or "directorial device" [but now that I've seen Caroline's extra context, I'm not sure if any of the terms apply here]

Συνήθως και γενικώς (film) gimmick, εκτός αν πρόκειται για κάτι συγκεκριμένο που πρέπει να περιγραφεί.
