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 Direction aims to give students all
the technical, theoretical, and
managerial skills required to envision, plan, and mount
a film from scratch. Often called
the ‘captain of the ship,’ the ‘conductor of a symphony
orchestra,’ the director
collaborates with the cast and crew to realise their
vision through the tools and marvels
of visual storytelling. At ASFD, we aim to train our
budding filmmakers, through a myriad
of industry-standard film projects, to have the
following skills:-
- Understanding of Cinematic
Grammar: Understand cinematic
grammar by critically evaluating the works of
cinematic greats from different eras and countries
to foster their growth as visual storytellers.

Vision: Develop a unique creative voice
and vision.
- Collaboration: Understand the
different roles of professionals involved in
cinematic storytelling and learn to communicate and
collaborate with each and every one to
realise their vision.
- Technical Knowhow: Get hands-on
training in various processes involved in film
production, including screenwriting, producing,
cinematography, production design, and all aspects
of post-production to bolster the development of
their original style aided by a robust technical
understanding of the same. This allows the director
and all the other collaborators to have a common
language to communicate on set.
- The Art of Visual
Storytelling: Re-interpreting the
words on a page to create meaning, clarity of
action, and emotion by manipulating the various
aspects of mise-en-scène.
- Adaptability: Develop the ability

and adapt to new challenges and situations, all in
service of the central cinematic vision.

to push yourself to keep learning and evolving in
this rapidly changing media landscape.
