Each and every student is trained in all aspects of film making. The basic principle of the course will be 'DO YOUR FILM'. In other words, student will learn to conceptualize, script, act, direct, shoot, edit and design the sound.  In the third month, the student will make a ten-minute fiction based film to complete the course and obtain the certificate. The film will be the ‘SHOWREEL of the student and it will help to launch   him / her in the film industry confidently and independently.

For the purpose of giving on-hand training to the students in Editing and Sound design, a specialized sound studio is chosen for the practicals. The sound studio has all the latest technology and it is updated as per the needs of the film industry requirements.
