Film Club Graduation Day



The Film Club was initiated in school with the idea of providing a unique opportunity for students to learn the art of film making from professionals in the field. The general opinion among parents I remember was how does it help my child and I had a tough time convincing them on encouraging their children to take it on.
Having worked with the students and from my observations in the classes I personally feel that there is so much learning involved in film making process whether it is team work, communication, direction, working in supportive capacities it’s a wonderful feeling to bring an idea, a script to visual life. Film making also teaches the students to develop a perspective, it’s a process of self development.
Equally important is another objective: to engage students in real-world work experiences, provide them with ways to give back to their communities. Not all students may become professional filmmakers, but they'll be able to look back and say that was the time I knew could weave a story too. 
The Graduation ceremony was held at the Preview Theatre, Annapurna Studios and Mr.Mohammad Ali Baig was the Chief Guest. Mr.Baig spoke on how drama and direction can help a student in getting significant insights into real life experiences.
Capt.Bajaj the Principal congratulated the students and appreciated their initiative in coming up with short films with a social message. Sankalp one of the students who were a part of the film club spoke on how this short course has changed his perception of film making. ‘I am able to appreciate a film better now since I have experienced the team work that goes into the making of a film’, said Sankalp. 
We hope to make this club a bigger success by reaching out to a greater number of students in the coming year.
