The Director is
responsible for executing the shooting
process on the floor. His responsibility
does not begin or end with shooting. He is
responsible for converting the ideas which
are in the form of words into visuals. The
storywriter and the screenplay writer may be
different persons but the Director must be
good in this department as well. The
director is chiefly responsible for
shot-taking which he executes through his
cameraman, thus making it imperative for the
director to have basic knowledge of camera,
lighting and the visuals in general.
The actors are made to perform in front of
the camera and with the help of body
language and dialogues, reveal the story to
the audience. The director learns the art of
handling the actors. The whole story shot in
bits and pieces are assembled together in
accordance with the syntax of the film
grammar with the help of the editor.
In the selection of sound and music, the
director has to make some conscious
decisions and hence his knowledge of these
are essential too. The director brings out
everyone’s talent and puts them together to
make a worthwhile programme.
The field of Direction is vast. It ranges
from Directing Documentary films, News &
Current Affair programmes, educational and
instructional films, advertisement and
corporate films, entertainment, fictions,
soap operas and of course, feature films
too. To cover this vast subject the
Direction / Production and T.V. Journalism
students are imparted exhaustive training on
practical situations. Students work on
variety of programmes and due emphasis is
laid on both single-camera and Multi Camera
production techniques. ‘Student –Directors’
have to develop an idea and shoot and
produce a quality programme under the
guidance of the expert faculty. Sufficient
inputs on script and screenplay writing are
given to the student directors for various
kind of programmes. |
