Filmmaking Virtual Workshop

My first guide in Filmmaking

Registering for this workshop was the best decision I took in 2020! I am an aspiring screenwriter, constantly seeking opportunities for self-education in the art and craft of Cinema. Having acquired half baked knowledge from the internet, I would often get confused regarding the roles and responsibilities of other departments of filmmaking especially Direction and Editing. This workshop not only resolved my doubts and apprehensions but also gave me a chance to work in all the fundamental areas of a film, beginning from writing a script, to planning the shots, to capturing them suitably on a camera, to working on the sound and finally editing it into a meaningful whole. The best part about the workshop was the guidance of all the mentors involved who culminated their knowledge and industry experience into precise lessons delivered with clarity. Even with the limited time, questions and discussions were encouraged and entertained. The online mode of the workshop enabled a wide variety of participation and exchange of workshop related resources and material was seamlessly handled. I can safely say that in this much cost and with this batch size to give adequate attention to all, a better course/training is not available. I am very grateful to Living Bridge for organizing this workshop and to all the mentors for gently introducing me to the complex world of films and filmmaking. Though the task seems daunting, I am now hugely excited and confident to use the language of Cinema as my medium of expression.

Review of Virtual Filmmaking Workshop

Attended the filmmaking workshop in Dec 2020 batch.
Found it very useful, all mentors were extremely knowledgeable with practical industry experience combined with teaching experience. All of them were very keen to teach and most of the sessions ran beyond the scheduled time.

For those who plan to attend in future –
The sessions are quite intense with very few breaks, and demands absolute focus.
It would be great if you can manage to keep time aside just for this and not multitask.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn the craft, as it’s very rare to find such knowledgeable and dedicated mentors!

Special thanks to Prashant Sir for guiding us through the workshop right from the start to the end and for helping us get through all the hurdles we faced during the filming and edits.

Thanks Living Bridge for putting together this fantastic course and for bringing together such amazing mentors.

Looking forward to joining the Writing workshop!

Best,
Shweta
