Recognizing yourself as a Film maker
Deciding to become a film maker, and portray your talent on screen is one thing, and Recognizing yourself as a Film Maker is another. After entering this field, and especially learning about film making during this journey you understand that where as a film maker you actually can fit in. For some people it is decided just before entering the field, and for the others it may happen when they are either during the journey of film making, and learning about it, or can experiment with different styles, and techniques later on recognizing themselves as a film maker. Every Film maker has a unique talent, and visualization which is executed on screen. Now, the word 'Unique' can be related to the story chosen for making a film, or the treatment, and execution, even the way of using the technical aspects of film making, and so on. Mostly every film maker in the industry is known because of the kind of genre they use in the film with the story picked up to make a movie, some film makers can make films on different genres, but mostly every film maker is known just for a particular genre or story used with the treatment and execution. Anyone can choose a common event or incidence but portraying the same incidence will surely be done in a different manner by different film makers with their own style of film making. A simple and common topic can be chosen and the treatment of the film will be different, which will then become successful, and this can be done by a witty director with their own styles of making a film. There are many directors in our film industry who has a style of film making because of which his/her identity is created. It same with the actors/actresses, that sometimes if they have portrayed a character with the genre romance, most of the time different directors having the same genre will take that particular actors/actresses, and it may become stereotype as well. But at the end as a film maker you have recognized yourself, and your work. Experimentation is no harm, but in most cases if film makers try to go out of their box creating something else it hardly becomes a success. Every story of a director will be different but the kind of
lighting, characters, location, treatment will be somewhere similar as well.
It's very essential to know at a certain point of time that what kind of films you make and what is different in your execution of the film than others. Because walking in facts will help you keep your foot on ground looking into the reality, and in the film industry you have to have your own identity by recognizing yourself as a film maker.
