AAFT's Practical Exposure

Industry‑oriented, hands‑on training
AAFT emphasises practical learning across filmmaking disciplines — directing, cinematography, editing, sound, and production — with most courses structured around hands‑on project work, mock shoots, studio exercises and live production labs rather than purely classroom lectures. The curriculum often follows a 70% practical, 30% theory model, meaning a big focus on doing rather than just reading.

Professional infrastructure on campus
AAFT has its own film studios, post‑production labs, shooting floors, cameras, editing suites and sound facilities, enabling students to learn equipment handling, real production workflows and post‑production tasks. 

Guest lectures & workshops
Students frequently get exposure to industry practitioners, masterclasses and expert mentoring sessions, which helps bridge theory and real work.

Hi.

Yes — at AAFT School of Cinema, the degree programs in film and television are structured to provide a broad foundation in filmmaking while also offering specialisation options in key areas such as direction, cinematography, editing, and acting. Here's a detailed breakdown:

1. Core Curriculum (Common to All Students)

All students in BA/BFA or MA/MFA in Cinema study foundational subjects like:

Film theory and history

Scriptwriting & storytelling

Film production & direction basics

Visual language and cinematography fundamentals

Editing and post-production techniques

Sound design and music in films

Acting basics & on-screen performance

These courses ensure every student has a holistic understanding of filmmaking before choosing a specialization. 

2. Specialization Options

a) Direction

Focus on film direction, scene blocking, shot composition, and storytelling through visuals

Includes practical projects like directing short films, web series, and advertisements

Covers working with actors, technical crew, and production management

b) Cinematography

In-depth study of camera operation, lighting, framing, and shot design

Hands-on experience with DSLRs, cinema cameras, drones, and lighting equipment

Projects include shooting short films, commercials, and digital content

c) Editing / Post-Production

Covers video editing, color grading, sound editing, and visual effects (VFX)

Training on industry-standard software like Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects

Practical assignments include editing short films, documentaries, and ad campaigns

d) Acting / Performance

Students learn method acting, improvisation, dialogue delivery, body language, and screen presence

Practice through short films, theatrical performances, and camera workshops

Training often overlaps with direction and production modules for hands-on experience

3. How Specializations Are Integrated

From Year 2 or 3 onwards (UG), students typically choose electives or focus areas according to interest.

PG programs (MA/MFA/PG Diploma) allow deeper specialization, with major projects and thesis films often aligned with chosen streams (e.g., a student specializing in cinematography shoots and edits their own short film).

Many students combine core and specialisation modules to build a professional portfolio ready for the industry.

4. Industry-Oriented Projects

Students create multiple short films, documentaries, ads, and digital content during the program.

Specialization ensures that the final-year or PG capstone project showcases the student's chosen expertise (e.g., a final film entirely directed or edited by the student).

Digital Marketing Programs (B.Sc / M.Sc / Diploma / Certificate)

Influencer Marketing

In the B.Sc in Digital Marketing, Influencer Marketing is explicitly part of the syllabus (e.g., included under Online PR & Communications → Influencer Marketing). 

In the Diploma in Digital Marketing, Influencer Marketing is also covered as a subject/module.

So yes, students do learn about influencer marketing in AAFT's digital marketing courses.

2. Digital PR and Online Reputation

Digital PR

The broader Diploma in Public Relations & Event Management includes modules like PR Campaigning, Strategic Public Relations, Digital & Social Media Marketing, and activities such as mock press conferences and campaign planning — which cover digital PR execution and media strategy. 

AAFT also offers a specialised Digital PR short course online, which focuses specifically on modern PR techniques including reputation management, campaign strategies, press and media relations, and some influencer elements — though this is separate from the core degree/syllabus. 

So digital public relations concepts are included within relevant marketing/PR programs, and even a specific Digital PR short course is available.

3. Experiential Events & Event‑Linked Marketing

Event‑Related Skills

The Diploma in Event Management covers experiential event planning, logistics, brand activation, PR in events, and digital events planning, making it relevant for experiential and live marketing roles. 

The PR & Events Diploma also focuses on event planning and coordination along with media and campaign strategy, blending PR with experiential activity.
