B.Sc in Film and Television

Film makers are basically creators of a film. A film is born out of their visualization and whatever the end product is, it initially starts with a fragment of the film maker’s imagination. They make creative decisions to determine the overall look of a film, including those that impact the special effects, filming locations, shot angles, and casts’ performances. These professionals participate in every phase of a filming project and usually lead or supervise it.

The routine tasks of a film maker vary as the days pass by, the current requirement changes and the production of the film goes on. At the beginning of a project, the film maker is responsible for reviewing and interpreting scripts, establishing the film’s tone, and choosing their entire crew. Film makers co-ordinate with everyone by working with other department heads on set, including those involved with casting, design, and camera work. The film maker is heavily involved in all stages of filmmaking, from the very start of the project to the final cut. However, their roles and responsibilities vary in each phase of filmmaking.

Some of the key responsibilities of a film maker include:

• Being thoroughly involved in all the major phases of film making i.e. pre-production, production and post-production.
• Selecting which scripts are to be turned into films by reviewing and adjusting among many other scripts
• Approving the film production budget and monitoring the costs
• Picturing roles, holding auditions, selecting actors, and directing those actors
• Supervising over all the on and off set aspects of the production process
• Closely working with the sound and music departments
• Producing the final version of the film and making sure it is as close to the initial visualization/planning as possible and more so by adding up effects that provide an immersive and inclusive experience to the audience by working and co-ordinating with the editors
• Ensuring that the film production stays within its assigned budget and on its timeline i.e. it doesn’t miss its deadline
