Film Making

The same scope that is there for FCP and editing in government jobs is there for non-linear editing. Excerpts already on Shiksha (from my profile). An excerpt from the above written by me needs to be shared as an intro to the reply:
1. Linear Editing is a thing of the past in this digital and technology-led age. Hence, it is the Non-Linear editing that remains the way video production is done for all forms I.e. films, documentary, TV serial, music videos, etc. Even news reporting videos are also customized. The career prospects for a certificate course are not that high, even in India or abroad. But, the condition in this skill and creativity, innovation-based job profile will decide the success of the candidate. If one is skilled enough to match the professional acumen of degree or Master's degree holders in production skills, the job and career is going to be good. If there is a delay in getting the same course recognised and noted, the person has to work very hard and do some good work to be shown as a portfolio. Career prospects are good, both in India and abroad.

A Course in Pro-FCP video editing is itself an accomplishment and certainly has much scope for work. As the video editing work has become as important as the whole production project of that work. The certified FCP Editor can get good opportunities in the government departments as well.

Final Cut Pro is the globally acclaimed and used software or tool to edit and make movies/films. As we all know and acknowledge that in India, there is a great demand for quality video editing because most of the mass media or filmmaking children are less exposed to the actual work they are required to do. FCP-If the candidate knows the know-how of the tool and possesses a certificate as well as a selling commodity for sure.
-Creativity
-Improvisation
-Quick Response Skills are the three major things needed in an FCP user. If these are present and the Final Cut Pro user is well-versed with the skills-shortcuts there are ample opportunities in production houses, news channels, filmmaking, local level production houses and educational Institutions, other than the ones teaching mass communication and media subjects, also demand people who are good at FCP because this is an age of MOOCs as well as virtual learning, smart classrooms have enhanced the demands of educational programmes. So this video editing software remains the winner all around. The certificate in FCP will certainly get one a job proving the skills and knowledge of FCP.

Mass communication is a media-related course whereas editing and proof reading are the small segments of the vast media careers. One needs to know that mass media is the comprehensive umbrella term and course that covers all leading segments and aspects of mass media. Whereas, proofreading goes for content check-content writing area. Editing also has two dimensions- Video editing and Content Editing for print media material. Mass media always has better scope in terms of variety of acceptance in careers. Proof-reading demands a specific opening and has limited offerings. Moreover, editing and proof-reading of language content are related to office communication and do have jobs with the government. However, this must be noted and should be known before an answer is supplied to this question, whether one is doing a degree in the subject or merely a Diploma. Company secretary and office secretary also need the skills taught in the purview of the course mentioned. This must be made clear that government jobs do not have this specific requirement but have this as one of the things needed in certain profiles. There are more jobs of SSC Clerk Grade and other Junior Staff or Clerk level jobs that one can access having the minimum eligibility of being a graduate. I must make it clear that in my observation as a mass communication expert, not a language expert for proofreading, there are more jobs in the private sector. Media, web development where content is written, publishing industry and service sectors have a scope.

After editing and proofreading course, you can become an editor/proofreader/writer/ book publisher/ book writer/ website content writer/ content editor, etc. The world has now been digitalized, so the scope of editor and proof-readers have increased both in India as well as abroad. But, the job of an editor and proofreaders is quite different. An editor has to check the Writing style, sentence formation, add or delete words/sentences/ paragraphs whenever required. Whereas proof readers check grammar, punctuation, spelling and other necessary elements of a content. One may join a newspaper agency, magazine, publishing company, or become a freelance editor or proofreader. This work requires very high concentration power and very strong hold on your language. You must have an excellent knowledge of the language, both grammatical as well as vocabulary. A good editor/ proofreader must avoid mistakes excessive use of words.

Editing and Proof Reading of Language Content is related to Office Communication and do have jobs with the Government.

The Question has two sides to Answer- Is it worth to Do a course of this kind via distance learning and the other side is should it be done from INDIA? Let us discuss the first thing First.
1. Linear Editing is a thing of the past in this digital and technology-led age. Hence, it is the Non-Linear Editing that remains the way Video Production is done for all forms like films, documentary, TV Serial or music videos etc. Even News Reporting Videos are also customised. Seeing the DEMAND of this task amd knowing the essentials and challenges, it is NOT Adviseable or suggested that one should go for a NO Classroom Model of Learning "Editing" of any kind and level. Distance Learning, anywhere in the world it is, has its limitations. There are Virtual Platforms and ways like video conference classes etc. Or MOOCs that offer such learning. BUT, we must understand that the actual Learning of skill through Practical and Hands-on while doing the course. If the place offers somewhat like near-regular classes or the student arranged for himself some training then ONLY the distance learning course can do some good.
2. Based on the conclusion above, if the arrangement is made for proper practical training, then do it from INDIA otherwise NOT. IGNOU has offers some courses like this, other institutions might also offer, but it is not suggested to.
