Film & TV
Ritika SrivastavaAssociate Senior Executive, Editorial
Film and television are one of the most important mediums of entertainment. To produce a film or television program, audio and video are combined in such a way that they turn into an understandable and entertaining scene. Talking about history, people enjoyed watching TV programs for the first time in the 1950s. Then gradually the TV changed from black and white to color and by the 20th century, TV became the need of every household.
At the same time, films started in the 19th century and gradually with the development of technology, there were many changes in the way of filming this art. People became so obsessed with movies and TV shows that they were glued to the television screen and hence TV was also called as 'couch potato' and 'idiot box'.
Several departments work together to produce film and television programs. Therefore, to make a career in this field, you need to specialize in one or several departments. These departments include sound recording, script-writing, production, set designing, direction, audio-visual effects, video editor, editing, cinematography, production, choreography, action direction etc. Many renowned universities/colleges/institutes offer admission in courses related to film and television. Some full-time courses include subjects related to film and TV as a part, while others focus entirely on separate departments of film and TV.

I want to study the acting course but I don't have any idea about acting. What should I do?
Try and enrol yourself in acting classes, if you think that it is what you wish to do, then go for it. It comes with a lot of struggle, so be prepared.
Acting comes naturally to a person. No one can teach you to act. If you can act well you can act well, if you cannot, you simply cannot.

No one can teach you to act. If you can act well you can act well, if you cannot, you simply cannot. A person can only give your acting a particular direction.
If you want to improve your skills try enacting particular scenes from movies or extracts from books in front of a mirror. See how good it is and try to improve what you are doing wrong. Try saying various sentences in different tones and manners.
For the result to be good, an actor should completely get into the character. When you are performing you should be that character, not you yourself. That acting will be coming from your heart and will definitely be great!
And then research in which field you are good at then only choose the field.
I have completed B.A. English Honours. Can I do cinematography without studying?
