DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKING
The September 2022 Documentary Film Workshop was an immersive learning experience for our team. Mentors Sudip Mitra and Ankush Gupta along with our director Rajneesh Bisht, provided invaluable insights into every aspect of documentary filmmaking. Sudip Sir expertly explained key technical concepts like shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, tailoring his teachings to our specific needs. We were also exposed to a diverse range of films, helping us grasp various frames, angles, and shot techniques. Hands-on experimentation with different cameras and lenses was particularly illuminating.
Ankush Sir's sessions on aesthetics were truly eye-opening. They highlighted how every element in a film, from a simple walk to the movement of objects, serves a purpose aligned with the movie's theme. When we delved into creating our own film during the workshop, we gained a profound appreciation for the immense effort involved in filmmaking. Rajnish Sir's insights into scripting added another layer to our learning.
