I want to study filmmaking

I’m a B.Com. student and I want to study filmmaking as I want to work in the film industry. Which colleges can I choose from and how secure is this line of career?

To get into filmmaking, you not only need a passion for filmmaking but also skills like leadership qualities, ability to bring out talent in others, creative instincts as well as managerial and administrative abilities. Good training helps to hone these skills. There are diploma, post diploma and even certificate courses available throughout India. A good course introduces aspiring candidates to the craft of filmmaking. Some institutes include: Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune; Whistling Woods International, Mumbai; Zee Institute of Media Arts (ZIMA), Mumbai; Asian Academy of Film and TV.

Duration, admission criterion and eligibility of a course depend on the course one opts for and the institution chose. For example, FTII offers a 3-year PG diploma in direction for which eligibility is a bachelor’s degree.
