We are accepting the applications for the next academic
session starting from 1st Aug 2024 at AMITY UNIVERSITY Noida
Campus.
In specialization modules, students develop professional
skills in their chosen field of specialization through
lectures, practical sessions and workshops conducted by
in-house faculty, visiting faculty and industry
professionals. Students showcase their conceptual and
technical skills in their respective fields of
specialization, by teaming up with students of other
specialization and working as members of a creative team. As
per NEP ,various electives are offered by the departments
providing students an opportunity to experiment with areas
of filmmaking other than their chosen Specializations. While
each department is responsible for running the course of
their own specialization, students also work together to
impart an integrated and multidimensional learning
experience. Our Courses undergo constant revision every
semester to stay at the forefront of the emerging styles and
techniques. This evolution has made ASFD a richer, more
diverse and vibrant place to learn.

audience root for them? How do you balance the nuances
of plot and theme? How do you write impactful dialogue

that have plagued writers for ages! At ASFD, we aim to
help our students crack the code for how to plot and
write emotionally engaging stories.

the industry-standard format and software used for
different kinds of fiction/non-fiction
