FAQs

Common questions about Film Making.

Got something not covered here? Our admissions team responds within 24 hours, Monday – Saturday.

Do I need a writing or theatre background to join?

No. The screenwriting module starts from story structure. What you need is curiosity and the patience to revise.

Will I get to use real cinema cameras?

Yes. Sony FX-series cinema cameras, BMD URSA, lighting kits, gimbals, and audio gear are part of the campus inventory.

Is the course only offline?

Yes — all sessions are on-campus at our Mira Road East studio.

Can I focus on direction without doing cinematography or editing?

Direction is taught end-to-end, which includes understanding the language of camera and edit. You can specialise in your capstone.
