New technologies have made filmmaking cheaper as compared to what it was even 10 years ago. Film viewing has also crossed the threshold of cinema theatres and TV, and has moved to the internet and is now exploring mobile phones. There is, thus, a surge and demand for quality audiovisual narrative for these diverse media (i.e. aesthetically using cinematic language but fitting into audience habits on new viewing platforms).

The curriculum of the course has been designed to cater to this need of the contemporary situation without diluting the essence of cinematic language. The course will give a thorough understanding of production and processing on various formats such as celluloid, video, and HD. This will give students a solid grounding in the foundation of cinema and make them confident to venture out in the industry.

In addition, SACAC has partnered with other institutions for this course which will invite their participation in the form of knowledge, service and equipments. Film education is highly interdisciplinary in nature and requires diverse faculty and specific exercises. The course facilitates faculty from other film schools, working professionals and theoreticians from across the country. Its unique study tour facilitates an exposure to networking and the film production process that is unmatched.
