Here are some of the points I have learnt from a Professor cum Director I have met at Tech Mahindra college on Saturday
1. A shot is not the time frame between a camera's operation. It is a projected series of images having a finite time and space.
2. A play and a film differs in two aspects. Viewers of a play have a physical sense of a play's surroundings and environment. In a film, the viewers are made to imagine it. I forgot the second aspect. Hopefully, I will remember it later.
3. Any film that has a cut in between becomes a fictional narrative since real life does not have cuts.
4. Read a lot. Understanding Marxism helped him with his films. Watching films is only 10 percent of the work.
5. Forget all this and understand how to make films first. The personal style will grow later. Film making is an craft than art. No matter how small the video, learn to make it good.
