English summary for my blog serie: What is happening behind the scenes ?
The film and television jobs are hard in everywhere. People working hours and hours and they earn so little money. This is big problem. But this is so much worst in Turkey. People working so much longer and most of them couldn't take their money. That's why I'm avoid from this job and trying to find another ways for cinema and tv world. I mentioned this problems in this serie. so far this serie was Turkish. You can reach them in the below links. I made a summary in English at this post. Cuze I know these problems are global. So let's have a look.
The main problem in the behind scene jobs is that we have very rough working hours. Last week my friend worked 18 hours in one day. He slept 2 hours and went to work again. This is really a nightmare. There are lots of job that has rough working hours. But our sector is creative. You must be creative if you want to be succesful. So, you work more than 15 hours every day. How can you be creative ? These work hours is not worldwide. I'm talking for Turkey. But I talked a couple of people that complaining same thing. They are not bad as us, but they are rough hours too. (for their standarts) People must do something. Every day we losing our creativty. Our Tv shows and movies not getting better. It getting worse. Tech is growing but quality is droping. This is the first thing that needs to be resolved.
The other main problem is human's ego. Yes every job has same problem. But as you know our job is the one of most collective jobs in sector. Everybody is important as everyone. We work lots of people and you can do nothing with just yourself. You have no chance of working alone. I shot a short movie in 2 years ago. At the beginning, I wanted to shot his movie alone. Just me and actor. I started to film and things getting worse. You face lots of problems when you trying to shot a film. Your team mates always helps you and solves your problems. But if you are alone, your problems getting bigger like my movie. In the end, I could'nt shot this movie alone. I took help from my friends. And film got better. So let's get back to our problem. If a team mate have a huge ego, all team mates will be sucks. And finally product will be sucks. Just 1 person changes everything. But as you know lots of filmmakers has huge ego. They think this job is very special and unique. Well, they are wrong. Our jobs is the same as other jobs. Just we need to be more creative and less ego. All filmmakers has to know this. But if you are a genius like Stanley Kubrick, well you can have huge ego. Everybody can follow you either. But if you are not, nobody will not follow you.
There are lots of problem that I can't count. Actor ego, director stubbornness, low salary, rough people etc. But in the end, you are a teammate in a creative work. Thousand of people (maybe millions) sees your work in televisions or cinema. And the most beautiful thing is your product is never gonna die. We can still watch old movies or commerials. It's like immortality. That's why I love my job even the problems. It's very hard and stressful but here we are. Living in this world. We need to be positive and keep making our job. But at the same time, we must always talk about problems. Otherwise our problems will not solve and they keep disturbing us forever.
You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:
It should be beginning instead of begining.I couldn't decide if you are useful or annoying. But I liked you.
