6 Months Diploma · Batch 2 admissions open
Film Editing
The film is written three times. The last time is in the edit.
The course
Editing is invisible storytelling. In our high-end editing labs and commercial suites you’ll learn to find the rhythm of a scene, shape performances and build tension, comedy and emotion out of raw footage.
The department is headed by B. Lenin, one of India’s most respected editors — so you learn the craft from someone who has cut more than 200 films.
