Why Are Film Schools Different?

With the increase in people pursuing a career in films there are a reasons why a film school is different. Students do not generally join a film school, owing to the internet and free videos, they also hesitate because film schools are expensive. But joining a film school definitely gives you an edge over the others. Film schools may function like any other school but it is still not considered a main stream field and so the work and the experience are entirely different than a normal university.

At Annapurna International School of Film and Media, apart from the usual film courses, students are also offered a course in 3D Animation and VFX. We all love Disney movies, superhero movies and movies with special effects, these movies require a special skill to be made.

The secret to becoming a successful animation/VFX professional has a lot to do with technology. Unlike making a normal film, animated and VFX movies involve a lot more imagination and understanding. Starting from their characters to their backgrounds everything needs to be pre-visualized and worked on. Since, these movies do not usually use real life characters the makers need to create characters that look appealing and a storyline that grips the audience. At AISFM, students get a chance to learn this technology alongside filmmaking, giving them a holistic learning experience.

An important skill in animation is being able to bring an idea or vision to life. This can be possible with the right tools and guidance that are provided by AISFM. Post the degree, animation students can find work in hospitals, advertising, real estate, etc.

Further on, AISFM also has a Post-Graduate Course in Film Editing. Editing is the most important part of the filmmaking business. Movie making durations are long, they are either a year long or sometimes more than that depending on the script. Hence, over the course of the shoot there will be thousands of ideas, changes, scenes, locations, etc. But in the end, which ideas to keep, which ones to let go off, which scene comes where, the line of succession of the scenes matters. Therefore, with AISFM’s postgraduate course in editing, students are taught to pre-visualize the scenes and edit accordingly. A professional and great editor knows how to weave together a great film from mere fragments.

Finally, studying animation/VFX or Editing at AISFM enables students to use the latest technology and access to great faculty to guide them.
