SCREEN-PLAY!
Film Making Workshop
Venue: The Pomegranate Workshop, 14, Shantaram Nivas,
Dates: 4th – 10th May; Ages: 10 – 14 yrs
Film maker Hansa Thapliyal, film editor Neeraj Vohralia and cameraperson Lalit Tiwari – alumni of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) Pune and established professionals in their respective fields will lead the children through the process of making their very own short film.
Hansa Thapliyal won the national award for best short film for her diploma film which was screened at various international festivals and has since been focusing on script writing and direction. Neeraj is a film editor and also teaches editing to post graduate students of mass communication at Sophia Polytechnic.
Right from conceptualizing the story, writing the script, planning the shoot, shooting the film and completing the edit, the children will go through the complete process of film making. As they work in the team the children will begin to understand their own strengths as well. The idea is to treat film making as yet another form of creative expression where the technical details are explained in a way the child can understand and assimilate.
The end result will be the creation of a film, a unique expression and experience the children will never forget. Not to forget a one-of-its kind opportunity to explore the creative potential of team work. The children will also benefit from maximum interaction with the faculty given the very restricted seats of 10 participants.
Timings:
Course fee: Rs. 4800/- including all material and a CD of the final film created by the children.
