M. Night Shyamalan

Born on the 6th of August 1970 in India. His passion for filming began at the age of 8 when he was given his first ever camera. He modelled his career around his idol – Steven Spielberg. In 1992 He created his first film; Praying with anger, the film was sort of based on his own life, and the travel back to the India where he was born. Shyamalan directed, produced and starred in this film. Nowadays Shyamalan is known for producing and directing films with supernatural plots that climax to a twist ending. Shyamalan plays many roles when it comes to creating his films, for example in The Happening, Unbreakable, Lady in the water, Signs, The village and The last airbender, He Wrote, Produced, Directed and starred in. One of His most well-known films is the sixth sense which he produced and directed. Shyamalan uses various techniques throughout all of his films e.g. Car crashes, Water as a sign of death or weakness, the use of bright colours (usually red) to show an important item in the movie, religion based, and important scenes set in basements. I feel this show how great his directing is as I have never noticed these same techniques until I started to research into them, which shows how he can use same techniques and crash scenes etc. in each film but then relate them making us only think of the scene for the particular film we’re engaging in.
