Gradually it progresses towards exploring complex structures of film by scripting and shooting misc-en-scene, choreography and dialogue exercises. Through these exercises, the students learn the purpose and application of cinematic language to represent and convey human emotions. This enables the students to acquire aesthetics and skills that are imperative to excel in the industry. Simultaneously students are expected to attend major film festivals, seminars and symposiums along with regular film screening in the campus. They deconstruct, discuss and debate on films and its script, camera, sound and other technical aspects to evolve the mind to have a questioning bent. At the end of the course, the students are expected to join together from different streams of specialization and make a short feature or documentary which works their final diploma project. After passing out, the course exercise films and the diploma films work as their portfolio/show reel through which they can showcase their capabilities in the industry. This film making course of Film & TV production will enable to venture out to the industry with confidence.
