Diving Deep Into the World of Film-making
As part of our curriculum and project-based learning, our students will be given the opportunity to delve deep into the various realms of film-making. The academy has laid out a sequence of projects designed not only to teach but to also offer a real-world hands-on experience. Here’s a sneak peek into the engaging world our students will be stepping into:
- 1-minute Advertisement:
The advertisement project will introduce students to the art of concise storytelling. With just 60 seconds to get a message across, students will learn the significance of every shot, every soundbite, and every detail.
- Short Documentary:
This project emphasizes research, patience, and the magic of real-life stories. Students will get a chance to capture the essence of a subject or theme, delving into the true heart of documentary storytelling.
- Soft News Piece:
Moving into the realms of journalism, the soft news piece will help students understand the balance between information and entertainment. They’ll gain an insight into the fast-paced world of news production while honing their narrative and editorial skills.
- Short Film:
The pièce de résistance of our course – the short film project. It’s here that students will pull together everything they’ve learned. From scriptwriting to direction, from editing to production – this is where dreams meet reality.
Through these meticulously planned projects, we aim to ensure that every student gets individual attention and an opportunity to be actively involved in the creation process. This hands-on training is imperative for a comprehensive learning experience and to ensure our students are industry-ready.
At AFA, we believe in creating filmmakers who aren’t just skilled, but also enlightened and inspired. Here’s to a year full of learning, creativity, and cinematic excellence!
