Personal Vs. Professional

Personal Vs. Professional

This is one of the most basic struggles a film maker faces trust me. We can obviously not be loved by everyone. We all might either have a person which we do not have very good terms with, or a person who is very close to us in our life. As far as my experience, yes I have faced this stage of struggle as well. Sometimes we have to work with the person who might be very bad in nature, but his/her way of working will suit the way of making a particular kind of film. As a beginner, this kind of struggle will help the very natural behavior of a human being to overcome (like anger or frustration). Even the positive part is that we learn how to adjust with different kind of people. As a director if your terms aren’t very well with the cinematographer, so he/she should know how to avoid mixing up the professional life with the personnel one. Sometimes we have to go against what we want, and learn how to work with the people we never even wish to sit with, as if his/her work will benefit you, the sacrifices can be worth it as well. For a professional film maker this now also won’t be a ‘struggle’ but for a learner as me it is a kind of phase of life which is tough at start like the other struggles, but will later on will help us be more understanding, calm, and also teach how to adjust and tackle in such situations as well.
