- Atul Kumar explores the various aspects of film making as a career.
Filmmaking is a complex business. It starts with an idea, and then proceeds to the writing of the script, the financing, casting, selection of crew, shooting, and postproduction. Filmmaking brings together the expertise of a director, writers and technical personnel like cinematographers and editors. Moreover, to create the right mood and setting for the production, art directors are brought in to design the sets. Film and TV productions also require professionals to manage lighting, costumes and make up, and acting is a popular profession. However moviemaking is a tough business, so be prepared to handle uncertain and irregular working hours, and make sure you’re equipped with creativity, perseverance and an openness to criticism.
- Course connect
Cinematography, editing, sound recording and animation, are some typical courses offered in film training institutes. Scriptwriting courses are usually integrated into direction courses in film schools, but may be offered separately as well. Most actors today, would have participated in some film courses to learn the ropes. One may apply after class 12 or graduation.
- Job prospects
Feature films are the most popular area within filmmaking, but a filmmaker could be making documentaries, advertising films, publicity films or educational films, as well. The proliferation of television channels and advertising has created myriad openings for film professionals. The competition for the jobs, however, is staggering, and those with flair and the right connections, continue to get opportunities to prove themselves.
