This syllabus has been approved by the Academic Council in its 54th meeting
and by the Governing Council in its 98th meeting held on 16th January, 2003.
FILM & TELEVISION INSTITUTE OF INDIA
Introduction
The first year of the course is designed to give a feel of all disciplines of
filmmaking and allied subjects through theory and practical. During this learning phase
all students go through the same exercises – it is aptly called a common course. During
this year coordinated exercises help a student to understand filmmaking as a group effort.
Each student assumes the role of crucial crewmember of filmmaking process.
During the second year a student focuses on the chosen area of specialization.
Through lectures, demonstrations and workshops students are helped through a thorough
understanding of their specialization field. Year ending projects during the second year
are at a higher level of sophistication. Each student during this year focuses only on the
area of specialization in exercises and projects.
The third year of the course is mainly devoted to projects. The scope of the projects
is extensive compared to the previous years. The projects are highest in quality giving
opportunity to a student to explore creative areas of their specialisations.

FIRST YEAR
For practical modules all students will be divided in to 5 groups. These groups

SESSIONAL SUBMISSION
ABSTRACT
The Feature Film Screenplay Sessional is intended to give the student necessary
confidence and experience of marshalling his scriptwriting resources to the
enlarged canvas of a feature film.
OBJECTIVES
Equipped with a fully worked out Feature Film Screenplay, the student would be
ready to join the profession as an aspiring filmmaker at the earliest opportunity
after graduating.
CONTENT
Each student will at the beginning of the year submit a brief outline of the
proposal, along with names of two guides from the field in consultation with
whom he would like to develop the screenplay. The institute would then get in
touch with the guides and formalise the arrangement with one. Through 2 or 3
sessions of interaction with the guide, the student would over the year be expected
to write, print and bind three copies of the screenplay for submission.
