How can I enter in film production area?

Hi Dilip, There are several careers in media in writing, production or post production: • You can become a reporter, actor or getting behind the camera to direct, cinematograph or do finishing work as an editor, compositor or a VFX artist who can add reality to 3D visualizations. • You may even be a graphic artist who designs the screens, or an animator who brings stories to life as a proxy actor for onscreen characters. • You can get into production, whether live or animated. You can be a story writer who writes for live and animated screens or even roll the story into a video/ pc game. • You can be a script writer who would stop at nothing to give wonderful scene setups to bring the story to life. • You could be an artist who designs characters or who storyboards the film for live or animated performance. • You can also double up as a voice over artist who gives his/ her voice to the characters or dub for movie stars, or even be a radio star. • You can alternatively look at web for a web of careers in web design, online marketing, search engine optimization, content writing, social media promoting. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, VFX, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world and hence may earn in dollars, resulting in better rewards for designers. Some people are passionate about acting, they must understand that acting cannot provide jobs since this is an assignment based industry and one must fit the role. So, it could be better to enter this industry after acquiring a technical skill. Remember, your career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like. Wish you the best for your career.

If you have time, you can join a 3 years' degree or professional diploma course on 3D animation and VFX or a film making course which will cover the entire pipeline. Or, depending on your time and financial feasibility, you can join 18 months of advance diploma course or 12 months of a diploma course which are also good and gives a good exposer on the entire pipeline.

Dilip, If you're creative, you can always consider going for design and animation. This is a field where nobody cares for your qualification, they only see if you can do quality work. In fact, the University Model has not succeeded in any skill field across the world. A good mentor and wise selection of courses with a good school, followed by diligent learning, would get you a head start in your career. However, you must check your suitability for this field. Animation is an art form and a very demanding career. It has ample opportunities for the creatively talented people. Opportunities lie in UI Design, Graphic Design, Storyboarding, Animation Design, Game Design, 3D Modelling, Texturing and Lighting, Dynamics and VFX and of course animation (2D and 3D). Of course, at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, and of course Game Studios. However, choosing between these must be done after seeing your performance in each of these. So going for a generic course covering all or most of these would be the best way to get started in these careers. Typically, you should have good sketching skills to be able to make a sound career in this (if you work hard you can improve your drawing skills tremendously). Nothing but your innermost talent and passion should lead you to the course and the institute you choose. Go speak to people over there and see if you like their philosophy and they change your perspective. Try their website for more details. Also remember that Animation requires good mentoring. Typically, go for a school which offers all the information including faculty on their website. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may upvote it/ press like.

Hi Dilip, If you wish to work in the field of Film editing and Animation, You can look for BDes/MDes in Animation Film Design(AFD) course at National Institute of Design(NID), Ahmedabad. NID is India's premier design Institute. It has given birth to many Independent Animation studios in India, these studios do all work which is required to make an animation film. Production (Pre, Post) is included in that. You can explore about Girgit Studio, Eksaurus Studio etc. these studios are run by NID alumni. Also if you remember Animation which used in Film &quot;Taste Zamin Par&quot; during tiltes. That animation is done by Dhimant Vyas(NID, Alumnus). AFD course at NID will give you exposure of all stages of Animation Film Making, they have structured the whole curriculum in such a way that you make animation movies out of your own idea, over the process you learn all aspects of it. I won't suggest you to join tool learning courses offered by MAAC/Arena/so and so Coaching Institutes. These Institutes will just teach you tool handling. But for you it would be better if you expand your thinking horizon and learn all aspects of Animation Film Making. Tools you will learn on the way anyways. Also, NID offers degrees in Film and Video Communication too, which exposes you to Production Area of film making, if you are interested in that. Explore about NID at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="www.nid.edu" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>www.nid.edu</a>. All the best! -Ashutosh

You can do a course from any of the institutes that can help you with the right placement after the completion of course. But, you will have to make a choice whether you want to go for VFX or animation.
