Diploma in Film Direction is one of Neo Film School’s flagship courses. We offer 12 and 18 month direction courses that take you through an amazing journey from an aspiring storyteller to a full-blown professional film director. This course offers you an easier and faster path to becoming an industry-ready professional.The saying is as old as the industry – the director is the captain of the ship. Ultimately, it’s the director’s story that is visualised on the screen, with the help of every other department. While the director of photography, editor, sound designer, art director etc give their own creative inputs, it’s the director who amalgamates all of these and decides which is best for the story being told. If you’re dreaming to be a film director, this is the first thing you need to learn – how to make rational decisions that would elevate your storytelling.How do you collaborate with other creative professionals to add value to your film? How do you bring a script to screen? What level of technical expertise do you need to be a professional film director?All these questions will be answered in our comprehensive film direction course. We have a team of direction faculties, headed by the school director Sri. Siby Jose Challishery, whose immense experience and knowledge is systematically reflected in the course structure.
FILM DIRECTION COURSE PATHWAY
As Neo’s direction students, you will undergo multiple production cycles where you go through each of the processes and your final work would be screened and evaluated so that you can evolve yourself as a filmmaker. If you’re opting for a shorter term course, the number of productions may decrease. The first production will be a music video, followed by a documentary, then the pilot episode of a web series, an Ad film, and finally a diploma short film. You will be given a crew of your own that consists of fellow students from cinematography, editing, and sound department. You will also be given associates and assistants, along with film units depending on the stage of your course.
