TERM II: Film Designing
This is a most compact programme in Film Designing intended to give students a strong grounding into this composite skill within minimum possible time and cost. Built on the ideology – “Film designing can only be learnt by making films”, a total hands-on teaching training approach is followed.
Film designing in nutshell is where storytelling meets performance and performance meets camera. The modules proceed under two Strings. First String developing the storyteller in you. Second String teaching to capture the story and performance in Camera Language. Later both these strings meet to make you a complete Film designer.
String 1
STORYTELLING / SCREENWRITING
First string starts from the very Seed of a Film i.e. Idea. Unless a student learns to deal with this first block of idea generation using tried and tested techniques, the confidence of a Film Director is difficult to experience within. From idea, students learn to develop stories and screenplays for various formats. This process needs thorough understanding of story structures, story arcs, elements of story, architecture of plots, screenwriting nuances and challenges which are taught step by step.
ACTING / PERFORMANCE
Storytelling comes alive once it starts getting converted into performance. Understanding principles of Acting as well as handling actors is the prime focus here to enable students to create believable and appealing Acting Performances.
String 2
PHOTOGRAPHY
The second string starts from the other end with the root element of Cinematography, that is Photography. Still photography is used as the entry tool to teach the most fundamental laws that make up an engaging cinematographer. Laws of composition, using light and shadow is the base on which the art of capturing stories in still image is played. A total hands-on indoor as well as outdoor module giving chance to students to capture the life around them with the eye of a storyteller.
CINEMATOGRAPHY/CAMERA LANGUAGE
Photography is seamlessly connected to the next module of this string – Cinematography. It starts with technical hold on the camera, involves aesthetic and design senses for composing shots, but the real power comes with in-depth understanding and practice of Camera Language for cinematic
storytelling.
FILM DESIGNING STUDIO
This is the final course of this term. Here is where the above two strings meet to sum up into a Film. The student brings to application all the components learnt above and starts making films. Multiple films with varied Genres are made in this particular course.
Full pipeline has to be brought into practice starting from idea generation, story writing, storyboarding to shooting and post production.
