Like any other art form, cinema should be learned appropriately. Understanding the outstanding works of cinema and its history constitutes one type of education. Acquiring basic technical knowledge of cinema—such as shot composition, scene construction, acoutstanding, and editing—represents another important aspect of learning.
Gaining this knowledge from a qualified teacher is an excellent starting point. This education is essential not only for those who wish to appreciate good cinema but also for those aspiring to create compelling films.
Today, creating quality short films is more accessible than ever due to low costs. We can also produce full-length films. In fact, we have the potential to establish a small film movement that is as affordable as the literary movement associated with small magazines. However, proper training is essential. Currently, many short films lack technical proficiency, which stems from inadequate film education.
Today, filmmaking extends beyond traditional films. All forms of visual arts embody the beauty and technology inherent in filmmaking. Proper training is essential for creating quality content, such as engaging YouTube videos.
As requested by many friends, Mr. Hariharan, a prominent figure in the Tamil film industry, has agreed to conduct the class. He is known for directing films such as Eelavathu Manithan and has extensive experience as a film instructor in various institutions.
