Camera & Lights Course

The students doing the Cinematography Course at Pran's Media Institute are not only given hands-on practical training in film and digital cameras along with extensive lensing and lighting practicals , but are also given a rigorous input in the aesthetics of image making.

We prepare our students doing the Cinematography Course to be able to perform in all kinds of shooting conditions, be it the studio floor, the exterior space or a combination of interior and exterior lighting conditions. We also train them to work as part of a collaborative team and be able to communicate with the Director and understand his or her requirements fully.
