Chandigarh 07th Aug:- To the absolute delight of tricity’s students, CineMaestro - an
inter-school filmmaking competition kick-started at Chitkara International
School (CIS) with plenty of enthusiasm and love for cinematography. The
rudiments of filmmaking were disseminated to the 300 participants from 16
schools at CIS premises under Cinevidya- the dream project put to life by Amitabha
Singh.
The celebrated professionals of
film industry accompanied by their competent team provided a tremendous
learning experience to the budding filmmakers. Amitabha Singh, known for his work in Khosla ka Ghosla, Chillar
Party etc. prompted the kids to become filmmakers and introduced ‘Film
Craft’ to them. The participants of this action packed module had an
understanding of the fundamentals of a short film and its typical structure.
The students were exposed to ‘Film
acting’ as a module by Anant Vidhaat
Sharma, the man behind many captivating, luminous and quietly towering
performances. He made his acting debut in the film Mardaani (2014).
He also worked as an Assistant Director in the three movies; Vaada (2005), Shaadi
Se Pehle (2006) and Milenge Milenge (2010). The
attendees were taught to work step by step to bring out the coordinated action
of 'body, mind and voice', which is central to acting. The insights into
Space, Time and Movement were also given to bring out a 'Total Act'.
Ms
Amritpal Kaur Barot, an Animation expert who has
been a Senior Animator in Disney projects like Doc Mcstuffins, Henry Huggle monster
and many more International Shows enlightened the students of Cine Maestro’s
‘Animation Module’ on different degrees and mechanics of computer graphics.
The students were taught to shape their idea, personality, concept, thought etc
through this sort of simulation.
Another module, named “Film
Choreography” was touched upon by famous choreographer Latha Bs. and Nidhi Chauhan who have been
pivotal in creating material for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s film, Mirzya and the
striking ceremonies of ‘Make in India’ at Hanover Messe, Germany & Mumbai
and Pro Kabbadi League. They were taught various dance moves and body movement
sequences to budding dance enthusiasts in context to films.

consisting of Vicks and OralB, Coca Cola, Barclays Bank, Parachute Advanced,
Chevrolet, HM Ambassador, Avigo, Mitsubishi Pajero, Airtel, Maruti Suzuki, Reliance ADAG, Samsung, Dabur, McDonald's etc. equipped the students with
the art of advertising under Advertising module of Cine Maestro. He

will further help them to amplify their idea into attractive commercials.
Every facet
of the training encompassed practical engagement of the
participants.
Dr
Niyati Chitkara, Principal, Chitkara International School extolling the
objective of CineMaestro, said that the experience of conducting CineMaestro
has been terrifically satisfying as we have got overwhelming response and the
numbers have doubled vis-à-vis participation
of schools across the tricity. For us, filmmaking is not just a
tool to foster awareness and passion for making films but rather to fuel art of
expression, critical thinking, communication and problem solving skills. Events
like these are at the heart of making children industry ready. Moreover it is a
matter of pride to haul the understanding of acting for
the screen - understanding of camera, lighting &shots to the door steps of
the students.
