A screen presentation is constituted by continuously changing series of images supported by sound for narrating a story or conveying a message, in a coherent manner. The prime purpose of a screen presentation is to capture and hold audience attention. The foundation of the art of screen presentation is editing. Film or video editing is much more than joining together of images and sound recorded on photographic film or magnetic / optical medium. It is the job of the editor to weave the recorded material which is jumble of odd shots, bits of sound and computer generated graphics into a meaningful and interesting screen presentation. A film or video editor has to strive to impart a visual variety to the screen presentation by skilful shot selection, arrangement and timing supported by appropriate sound. He has to recreate rather than reproduce the recorded event to achieve a cumulative effect often greater than all actions in the individual scenes put together. Only a good editing can bring life to a screen presentation.
Spoken words, music and effects sound support the visuals both recorded and computer generated - in a screen presentation. A wide variety of sounds are therefore, required to be recorded for laying the sound track of a movie or television programme. Creative use of the microphone is a specialized work.
Television graphics may include anything from captions over pictures to the most elaborate art work. The graphics are in the form of graphs, charts, diagrams, maps and a variety of shapes and forms. Computer graphics systems are used to prepare logos, illustrate numerical concepts, financial trends, result of polls, weather reports, cartoon films, video games and so on. The computer hardware and software together make a magnificent tool for the graphic artists with a quick mind and good imagination. Computer Graphics equipment is also capable of producing three dimensional and virtually any desired animation effect. Graphic art systems are only means to the end in the hands of creative artists.
Graduates of a recognized Indian or foreign university willing to use the personal computer and a wide variety of softwares to generate graphics and animation products, edit recorded visuals and sound and are interested in learning the creative use of the microphone with a view to working as a graphics designer or an animator or a video editor or a sound recordist in the film and television industries are welcome to enroll in this one year course.

AAFT (Asian Academy of Film & Television)
We have always believed that a film school should take a holistic and realistic approach in its teaching. By holistic we mean that film school training should not be limited to only classrooms and lectures on theories and techniques. Therefore, at AAFT we have adopted a comprehensive training method with equal importance on the practical training of film making and acting.
Believing that training and skill building are quite essential in the field of visual media, Asian Academy of Film & TV, has been imparting education and training in the art & craft of film making in television presentation since 1993.
The academy was planned as an alternative to formal film schools and has since come a long way making a unique place for itself amongst the best global centers of education of its kind. Growing to be certified as the first ISO 9001:2000 film school in this part of the world in less than a decade since its inception, the Academy was also approved as an international level training center by the 125 year old City & Guilds of the United Kingdom in the year 2002.
Students with varied background, experience and culture are selected for admission to the academy for their talent and enthusiasm. Although students spend most of their time on the projects, the education and training imparted at AAFT is more than just a craft model.
Education and training for various courses are provided by expert media practitioners supplemented by visiting guest lecturers who are leading exponents of their specialized skills in the practical craft of film & television production.
The Academy has also done pioneering work of generating training a world class material in the form of books and video recordings on the various techniques of film and television production both for the benefit of its students and the practicing film and television professionals. The Documentation Center of the academy has produced a number of books on the art & screen presentation.
The academy is affiliated to the International Film & Television Research Center which aims at raising professional standards of films and television presentations. Film and Television personalities from all over the world are often the guest of the Research Center. AAFT is also affiliated to International Film & Television club.
Festivals of Israel, Japanese, Croatian, Norwegian and Russian films have already been organized by the Club in the past. Students of the academy greatly benefit from the activities of both these organizations.
