Clusters Workshop #2

 Introduction to Filmmaking: A Journey into Visual Storytelling 

My Experience at the Filmmaking Workshop

This filmmaking workshop was fun and enriching. Industry professionals guided us through everything from scriptwriting to post-production. Each session was interactive and gave us engaging insights into the entire filmmaking process.

The Making of a Film

Instructor: Mr. P. Thirumalaisamy

The foundation of a great film is a good script. We explore how life can inspire stories that impart meaning. In this session, we discussed concepts about story structure, character development, and shot composition for bringing a script to life. These contribute to the audience's experience of a film.

Scriptwriting & Pre-Production

Instructor: Mr. Ramesh Murugan

This is the moment where the real film starts. We have learned about:

Script Structure – A study under this topic would include topics such as Themes, Story synopsis, Treatment, and screenplay.

Character Profiling & Scene Breakdown – Moods of the characters and scenes to be steady in the storytelling.

Logistics of Filmmaking – Location management, budgeting, and scheduling work for smooth shooting.

Cinematography & Post-Production

Instructor: Mr. Darshan Ashok

The session taught us about the role of cinematography and editing in shaping the film by focusing on:

Camera Settings & Lighting – From angles to lighting to framing, altering how sight plays out in the film.

Editing Workflow in DaVinci Resolve – Practicing how to cut and tidy up footage.

Sound Design & Colour Grading – The finishing touches on a film with sound and color corrections.
