Career in film making

Before setting off for a career in film making please evaluate yourself if you have that creative ability (natural flair) in you and sufficient strength to sustain loss and if you are mentally prepared to accept rejection the masses. If you have these capabilities then perhaps you can take the step forward and get yourself trained either in a film making institute (such as in Pune Film Institute , many private institutes in Mumbai, in City Pulse Gandhinagar etc) or try to get work under a film maker in Mumbai or in Kolkata or Hyderabad. You may also join a theatre group or take admission in National School of Drama. If you have money to spend then you can make short movies / documentaries and exhibit them to people who matter in this field.

Hi Arun, Film making is a very creative domain and needs a lot of patience, creativity and funds. In order to become a good film maker you have to understand the viewer choice as in which sort of movies are like by the them. In order to become a good film maker, you need to have good knowledge about direction, camera angles, editing etc. To gain such knowledge, I would advice you to join a good film making institute. Or another good option can be to assist a good film director. Regards

Hi Arun, Supporting to what Mr. Nikhlesh Mathur has rightly said! I would also say that before entering the Media world you need to prepare yourself for the pros n cons. Media line itself is so challenging and film making will be more of skill based. To start your career in film direction it is necessary for you to gain knowledge about the basic aspects of film making such as Direction, Cinematography,Camera angles, market demand as in what type of films or T.V. shows are in, etc. So i would suggest you join some course related to Film making and direction so that you gain the relevant knowledge. For more info you can refer to the following links <a href="https://www.shiksha.com/getArticleDetail/2004/Film-Making-Study-Training" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.shiksha.com/getArticleDetail/2004/Film-Making-Study-Training</a> <a href="https://www.shiksha.com/getArticleDetail/133/Film-Making-Nature-Of-Work" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://www.shiksha.com/getArticleDetail/133/Film-Making-Nature-Of-Work</a> To start a career I would suggest you to join some good production house or an AD agency as a trainee to groom yourself or another good option for you can be to start shooting documentary films, do it as a free lancer or join any NGO and make a documentary for them and then you can apply to big production houses or if you have enough funds you can start your own production. But first i would suggest you to go for film making course.
