Film & TV

Camera and lighting course for a government job lead to the technician profile in the sound and production departments. PSUs, government public relation and information, culture and languages Departments have such units that work on the video recordings, events, etc. As a cameraman, one can also join a university where an auditorium becomes the place of work for the person. I must share the observation that sound and light are generally connected with each other and camera is kept into the production team works. Unlike Kurukshetra University, Siri Fort Audi, IHC Delhi, Sahitya Academy or any other government organisation offers jobs to trained people who can manage the stage lights and work in the event, PR, departments.
1. Cameraman
2. Light Management Work
3. Live Events Coverage for Public Relations and Documentation related department.
4. Doordarshan-TV
5. Educational Institutions i.e. universities as well.
There are jobs in the digital media as well. Documentary production is a specialised domain and there are such profiles in the TV media of the government I.e. Doordarshan. It should be appreciated that a course titled as documentary production shall have limited offerings if the nomenclature does not match the approved requisites. The National broadcaster offers jobs to documentary makers-Directors, Cameraman, Screen Writers and Editors. This may be noted that the same work also goes on in project assignment mode as well. Along with the Doordarshan jobs, there are public relations department in all the states and at the central level. There are many education-related departments of the government like UGC's CEC, CIET of NCERT managing the Gyan Darshan like channels. Moreover, there is IGNOU and SWAYAM MOOC platforms where documentary making course can get acknowledged for a job.

Hi,
Necessary skills required to be a director:
Writing
Even if a director has never written a script in his life, he still needs to understand how one is written. Screenplays have specific three-act structures, and being able to recognize how a script adheres to this structure is an important skill in filmmaking. Often, a director will rewrite a script to put his own stamp on it, whether it is a simple polish for dialogue or a complete overhaul to meet his creative needs. Whatever the reason, doing this will be difficult without the ability to write.
Visual Storytelling
The written word on the scripts page is the start, but ultimately the filmmaker has to translate those words to images. To do this, he must be able to tell a story visually. Many film students start out making silent films. The reason for this is to teach them how to convey the action onscreen without words. The audience should have an idea of what is happening onscreen, even if the characters arent speaking. Dialogue and music will ultimately enhance a film, but cannot save a picture if it is visually confusing.
Communication
Making a film is virtually impossible to do on your own. You have to manage actors, camera operators, sound technicians and editors at minimum. The larger the film, the more moving parts you must manage. Successfully navigating different workers - each with his or her own ideas, methods and egos - requires strong communication skills. You have to successfully convey your vision to each of them to ensure it ends up reflected in the finished film.
Technical Expertise
It's not uncommon for a creative person to have no interest in the technical side of things. This does not work for a filmmaker, however, as his idea of John bursts through the door may be totally different from the director of photographs. You don't need to know every moving part of a camera, a light filter or a boom microphone. However, you do need to know how to frame and light a shot and be able to recognize when sound levels are off. If you don't have the know-how to do these things, the finished product will not be your complete vision.

Hi Akhil,
College has its own criteria of admission. Some might just take an interview, while others conduct an aptitude test to see how suitable you are for the course. The aptitude test generally covers 4 topics namely quantitative aptitude, Logical reasoning, English Language and core subject questions (direction and film making). Some of the top colleges that offer courses in direction and film making are:
Film and Television Institute of India, Pune
Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute, Kolkata
Whistling Woods International, Mumbai
Center for Research in Art of Film and Television, Delhi
Asian Academy of Film and Television, Noida.

Hi Abhineet,
There are very few colleges that provide BA in Acting in India like Whistling Woods International, Mumbai. But, I will suggest you to take a short term Diploma or certificate course in acting instead of looking for a full time Bachelors course. You should rather do your graduation in some other field simultaneously, as you cannot rely completely on acting as your career choice. Please refer to this link to find the top institutes for acting https://www.shiksha.com/mass-communication-media/film-tv/articles/top-10-acting-schools-in-india-blogId-8822
Alternatively, you can also pursue theaters or look out for a degree in performing arts.

MA in film, television and new media production empower the students in the production & managerial aspects of the media business with due emphasis on the latest production techniques, along with marketing and branding management of various media products and associated services. Job descriptions include content writer, producer, director, cinematographer, editor, and art director, as well as many other roles critical to the information and entertainment media industry. Employment opportunities can be found preparing content for local and national news or sports programming, serial television programming, commercials, music videos, and the Internet. Large studio and independent motion picture or documentary companies also provide work prospects.

There are two another replies that I have posted on 1- How to be a Video Jockey 2. News Presenter. Please see the answer in addition to those two answers. https://ask.shiksha.com/how-can-i-become-a-video-jockey-vj-what-starting-salary-can-i-expect-qna-4393281? ReferenceEntityId=4396513

Now the answer to your question is: A TV correspondent is to be understood as a reporter for the electronic channel I.e. news channel. The difference between this and that of a news presenter is that this one is the news provider, sender and the one who is in the field not in the news room. Hence, there are certainly small but important things to be kept in mind: The field job is demanding, not just travel, but risks as well as longer commitments. The requisites remain the same as we have shared in the above two answers, mainly the ones for the job as a news presenter. The only difference remains is that one is on the desk of the studio, the other is in the field- reporting to the same camera.
The salary, however, depends on the profile and seniority one has among the reporters. These days, staffers or full-time correspondents are not higher for small segments on areas. Task-based payments are made when a news story gets telecasted. The average earning for a part-time person can range from 20k to 30k, expecting a good number of stories. The moment one establishes oneself as a quality reporter then salary gets good and the jobs can also become that of a regular employee-staffer.
