‘Cinematography’ is the process of recording visual images for the cinema and subsequent development of recorded images in sophisticated photo laboratories. The cinematographer’s art requires attention to scene compositions; conceptualizing and supervising special effects and lighting; and choosing locations, cameras and film stock.
The minimum requirement for admission into a cinematography study programme is Plus Two. This makes youth eligible for admission into the three and two-year diploma courses of the following institutes: Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune; Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute, Kolkata; L. V. Prasad Film and TV Academy, Chennai; Shri Jaya Chamarajendra Polytechnic, Bangalore; Zee Institute of Media Arts, Mumbai; Whistling Woods International, Mumbai; Chennai Film Industrial School, Chennai
Cinematography is just taking off in India as the number of feature, ad, corporate and documentary films is multiplying rapidly with TV channels being launched every other day. There’s a huge shortage of trained cinematographers with only a few reputable institutes like FTII and Satyajit Ray Institute churning out about 100 cinematographers per year, whereas the demand is for around 1000.
