I appreciate the efforts from the part of the team to organize such a wonderful workshop
The intricacies that rahul sir shared regarding film making.
If you are thinking of becoming a filmmaker and you enrolled in this workshop it will be your life best decision the mentors explain the things very well and briefly and i am sure i am gonna have short film shoot soon
The workshop was very good and praveen did a great job by giving us relatable examples to the theories and fundamentals of screenwriting
I really enjoyed the workshop that gave me a quite clearance about scriptwriting
This workshop really helped me maneuver the pathway I'd be taking for my first short film. I could make the outline, add the essentials and build up a pathway to write the screenplay for better outcome. I hope I would be able to visualize my vision with the screenplay techniques tought.
i had a screenplay which was very here and there , after this workshop i am able to structure it properly . thanks alot
The way of explaining the content with a demo while within the class itself was a great chase. The ppt also was designed thoughtfully and the detailed explanation of the content step by step in a structural way was worth it.
It was a wonderful workshop. It was my introduction to film making and I now have a decent knowledge of the jargon & the process
The mentor did a very good job and immersed us in filmmaking through his teaching. One suggestion I have is that the mentor could engage in more direct conversation with us.
Well Structured. More examples relating to work experience will give even better insights
I have learned the basic of film making with minimum low budget with minimum crew members
It's nice yo hear many aspects of film making..Basics are explained in a Great way..Thank you
Could see a team of passionate film professionals holding the workshops with great energy and knowledge.
It was really a wonderful workshop. 10 times more valuable than its cost. In one word - it was Superb !
Clarity and the composition of the mentor. Pacing was on spot, and he's on time in starting and concluding things, which makes it effective. It felt like talking to a film-making friend with a breezy chat. Loved it!!!
The course offers beginner level of understanding and also gives movie scene examples which helps in better understanding of the technical terms. Loved it
The intro was great, very precise and very clearly explained in around just an hour. So definitely beneficial to give an idea of what's coming further.
The basics of filmmaking is how much important and how an immature filmmaker can go with these basics and can still make a good movie to watch... Without going through any confusion.
I had studied the basics of camera placement, types of shots, angles, etc. However, a scene breakdown was rare to see as I had only seen those on foreign YouTube channels. This session shed light on the inner workings of a scene and also told me why a scene looks the way it does.
It was good as a starter, it provide nice insights by touching some basics
The way they taught us by breaking down some best examples was vary good
It was very good and every thing was explained very beautifully

It was a wonderful competitive and collective experience to learn and at the same time it felt like I had a one to one session with a professional filmmaker, could learn the nuances and insights about the departments we know but actually knowing it only now which turns a lot of new pages in the department.
