The
Director is responsible for executing the shooting process
on the floor. His responsibility
does not begin or end with shooting. He is
responsible for converting the ideas
which are in the form of words into visuals. The
storywriter and the screenplay writer
may be different persons but the
Director must be good in this
department as well. The director is
chiefly responsible for shot-taking
which he executes through his
cameraman, thus making it
imperative for the director to have basic
knowledge of camera, lighting and the
visuals in general.

The actors are made to perform in front of the camera and
with the help of body language
and dialogues,
reveal the story to the audience. The
director learns the art of handling
the actors. The whole story shot
in bits and pieces are assembled together in accordance
with the syntax of the film
grammar with the help of the editor.
In the selection of sound and music, the director has to
make some conscious decisions and
hence his knowledge of these are
essential too. The director brings out everyone’s talent
and puts them together to make a
worthwhile programme.
The field of Direction is vast. It
ranges from Directing Documentary films, News & Current
Affair programmes, educational and
instructional films, advertisement and corporate films,
entertainment, fictions, soap operas
and of course, feature films too.
To cover this vast
subject the Direction / Production and
T.V. Journalism students are imparted exhaustive
training on practical situations.
Students work on variety of programmes
and due emphasis is laid on both
single-camera and Multi Camera production techniques.

produce a quality programme under the guidance of the
expert faculty. Sufficient inputs on
script and screenplay writing are given to the student
directors for various kind of
programmes.
