Making
Introduction
Film is probably the broadest and
most varied creative opportunity in
mass media. Films, a blend of
creativity and technicality are an
important media, not only for
entertainment and information, but
also for communication. Films, the
most international medium, has
developed into a universal art form
that transcends cultural
differences. Film making include
feature films, documentaries,
newsreels, Promotional films, TV
commercials, music Videos etc.
The craft of filmmaking is a
teamwork which needs close
coordination of various skilled
individuals. It involves
acting, directing, producing, script
writing, cinematography, sound
recording, visual mixing, editing
and so on. A film maker like the
captain of a ship has to look at all
these aspects of film making. He has
to start at the very bottom and work
his way up. i.e. beginning with
raising capital for the film to its
distribution, screening as well as
all the stages of its crafting.
The field of film making which is
highly competitive is one that has a
lot of scope for employment
opportunities especially,
India which releases a large number
of films every year. If one has
artistic and technical skills and at
the same time ability to express
ideas, this is the right field for
you. Even for
acting and directing, which are
basically creative fields that
require inherent talent, training
helps to hone the skills. In areas
like cinematography, sound
engineering and editing,
professional training is essential. There
are several universities
institutions that offer training in
these areas. The pioneering
institute in this line is the Film
and Television Institute of India (FTII),
Pune.
