IIIT-Hyderabad is excited to bring to you its first ever filmmaking workshop. Participants will be shown and taught the basics of filmmaking. We will learn to plot a scene, read an image, shoot, and edit. The workshop will benefit people keen on exploring filmmaking as a career; amateurs and young professionals who may be interested in gaining familiarity with the fundamentals of the craft. Exposure to veterans and experienced voices will bring their expertise to help the understanding of cinema and its making. Please join us to spend three days – 30th Sept to 2nd Oct. 2023 – watching, listening, and experimenting with filmmaking. We expect the workshop to be hands-on and fun.
