Description

In Fiction Filmmaking we dramatically narrate the story of the journey of a protagonist with various twists & turns. This ultimately culminates in the protagonist achieving his or her goal as they have set out to achieve, while depicting ideas through the narrative which are meant to inform, educate & entertain.

On the other hand, in Advertising a similar dramatic narrative structure is used to engage the audience but the purpose is to eventually sell a product or a service.

This course offers you:

  • An opportunity to develop a film from the idea stage to the ready-to-go-for-shoot stage
  • In-depth research for a product to be advertised or for a small story told on film
  • Understanding the different stages of production, pre-production and post-production
  • Writing a concept to final script, budgeting, putting teams together with cast and crew, identifying and locating equipment, locations and everything else required to get ready for the shoot

By the end of the course students will be working together in two groups developing an ad film and a short fiction project of 3-5 mins ready to be shot.
