Learn all aspects of Filmmaking from Sankalp Meshram, winner of 5 national awards.
Filmmaking is both an Art and Science. This is because one needs to know various machines and technologies in order to make films. In the digital age, filmmaking is becoming more technical as each day passes. Today scripts are written on script writing softwares, the entire budgeting, planning and scheduling of film productions happens on dedicated softwares. The high-end digital cameras are now nothing but computers with lenses. Image acquisition in the digital domain is far more complicated than in the celluloid era. Same is true for the acquisition of production sound – which is an activity that cannot be performed independently of image acquisition. The offline editing workflows on various non-linear editing setups are also extremely technical activities which are closely linked to the post production workflows which involve VFX, computer graphics, Animation, sound post and DI (Digital Intermediate). All in all, it has to be accepted that anybody aspiring to become a film maker must have a good technical background of all the fields in order to be able to exercise his / her creativity in the domain of film making.
