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.

Course Description:
The specialisation in Creative Writing aims to give
students all the creative skills,
inspiration, and mentorship required to nurture their
talent as writers and
storytellers in various fields and formats, including

theatre. At ASFD, we aim to train our budding writers,
through a myriad of
industry-standard projects, to have the following
skills: -

makes a good story? What is the meaning of
‘emotional immersion,’ and how is it
created? How do we create expansive fictional worlds
and populate them? How do we develop real flesh,
blood characters, and make the audience root for
them? How do you balance the nuances of plot and
theme? How do you write impactful dialogue that
sounds natural? These are some of the questions 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.
- Nuances of Formats: Learn
about the industry-standard format and software used
for different kinds of fiction/non-fiction
writing.

language to express complex emotions, delving into
the mind of characters through descriptive writing
and dialogue.
- The Art of Visual and Subtextual
Storytelling: Interpret and
integrate complex emotions and ideas into scenes and
sequences that enthral readers and audiences across
formats.
- Adaptability: Using your
skills and the command over figurative language to
write across formats, including but not limited to
Feature Films, Short Films, Television, Web series,
Prose, Poetry, Creative Non-Fiction, and
Advertising.
- Lifelong Learning: Have the
hunger to push yourself to keep learning and
evolving in this rapidly changing media landscape.
