>>I believe it’s called artistic license, possibly to prevent Director being covered in smoke and unrecognisable<<
War artists may go beyond even normal artistic license. They are trying to communiate something visually that might be impossible to communicate with a camera.
"The war artist or combat artist captures instantaneous action and conflates earlier moments of the same scene within one compelling image. Artists are unlike the objective camera lens, which records only a single instant and no more." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_artist)
