Best Cinematography Schools in India
This is a comprehensive list of best cinematography schools in India. India has the world's most elevated film production rate even more than Hollywood and a very strong media industry. The experts of these were not only educated from abroad but the Country itself has great domestic film and TV schools.
I can say direction is the heart of the movie without which a movie cannot be made. If a movie is successful, at that point the director becomes the talk of the town next to actors. But if a movie flops, they won’t say the performing artist have not performed properly or it is a terrible story. Rather they will ask ‘Who directed this movie’? Also, they turn into the reason for disappointment. So directing a movie is not a simple job but an unforgettable task as it involves a lot of responsibilities and the major ones are below.
– Story
– Screenplay
– Casting
– Deciding the budget
– Shooting locations
– Music
– Dialogues
– Cinematography
The executive does not need to do every one of the jobs above but they have to guide / monitor all aspects of the movie. Especially if it is the first movie for the director, at that point they have to put extra effort. Also the executive should have a good rapport with the actors and technicians from the beginning of the movie till it goes in theatres. These days the Indian youth are also interested in movie direction equally when compared to acting and many institutes in Indian provide courses in film direction.
