Hello!
The career development of photography is always on the upward slope. However, the demand for photographers might fluctuate due to the availability of skilled photography. This field has very good and diverse options for you if you have done this course with high dedication. The diversity in this area is vast. You can work as a: (#) photoJournalist. (#) Feature Photography. (#) Fashion Photography. (#) Scientific Photography. (#) Freelance Photography. These are some of the big designations that are specialised for the candidates who have done their graduation in this fields. Preferably the degree should be BA in fine arts and photography as additional subjects. There is no such challenge at all. But sometimes, people find very difficult to deliver what is expected of them. A photographer must be able to create a good composition of any subject, a piece of machinery, the beauty of human body, scenery or a child's smile.
Hope this helps.

Film and video editors work to help the directors achieve their artistic vision of making the film attractive and error free. Thus, editors play a critical role in the creative look of a film. Most film editors hold at least a Bachelor's degree in a film-related field. Just a degree won't help to be successful in this field. One needs to have practical experience and knowledge in this field as well as certain essential skills. The following are some of the important skills required for an editor:Good reading and writing skillsActive listeningCritical thinkingTime management skillsGood judgment and decision making skillsAttractive speaking skillsExcellent monitoring skillsLearning and implementation skillsDedication and hard workPassionProblem-solving skills with a social perspective.A good editor should have a knowledge of the film industry and movie production, a good photographic eye for camera angles and special effects, as well as knowledge of audio effects And should be able to update with the latest trends and technologies in editing.

Hello!
Ideally, there should be no confusion at all. Because, after the completion of any course you should join a job to test 'How' you have learned that course. My advise will be to go for a job and then after for higher studies. (#) Doing a job will give you the more relevant knowledge of this field. (#) You can save a big chunk of money to cope up with the major and minor expenses of your studies. You have just studied the video editing, hence there are many possibilities that you are unaware of the real projects that a company faces. You can get more knowledge you have to jump in the film and video editing business. This will not just make you financially independent and stable but also it will gives your additional preference when you will go to apply for the further continuation of your higher studies. Hence, without having more doubt on that, just apply for the job and gain industrial exposer for at least 2 years.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Hello, Nowadays, the art director is also termed as the creative director. So, it clearly understood by its name that one needs to be creative to be in this profession! It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations and ways of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture and paintings.An aspiring art director should come from a graphic design background, and should be respectful to all either younger and elder and should have the courage to accept his/her error and would be a team player with leadership quality.Originality is almost a given factor with these folks. Intelligence and integrity, a must in terms of creating a believable work of art. Strangely enough, the operative word for 'Creative Director' is Director. This position requires a step back to look at the big picture. He/She assesses the work in terms of how it will affect the brand and the communication.Hope this helps. Good luck.

Indian Government has a department or to say a dedicated wing to advertising management. This department gives the government advertisement to all media. NDAVP: Directorate of Advertising & Visual Publicity which works under the Ministry of Information and broadcasting. If there is a department, then certainly job is also there. It must be made clear as an advice that most of the standard job I such fields require a Bachelor's Degree as the minimum. Selected jobs may ask for higher qualifications as well. This department only hires the advertising agencies for government works. The rates or prices are also approved pan India by DAVP. Along with DAVP, State Governments also have their dedicated Public Relations Department which needs people with this qualification. This is again stated the 'course' has to be a specialisation through a Bachelor's Degree or a Post graduation.

Performing arts (theatre and television) bring to mind the stage and performance as part of the daily learning in the course. However, for all the valid reasons, we can think of the feasibility of such a degree through distance mode as well. Distance mode has been established all over the world to keep the learning active and bring education to them who otherwise were away from that learning. IGNOU offers the following: Master of Performing Arts (Theatre Arts) (MPATA). Any graduate with a Diploma in acting/theatre arts or any graduate with 5-years of practical experience in theatre.

Master of performing arts in theatre arts AIMS to provide both practical and theoretical aspects of theatre to students. This course offers specialisation in direction, design and children's theatre to facilitate the students to take up a career related to these areas. This is to add to the above details that where there is no connection between the provider of the Master's degree and the students, the degree is a waste. IGNOU offers assignments and personal contact programme empowered courses and that may be a single reason to think of doing such a course via distance mode.

Dear Learner,
Distance learning was not devised as an alternative to classroom learning or practical learning with the teachers. The same applies to the question as well. FCP is something which is a special learning and through the distance mode, I do not think that it is possible to comprehend and learn the best of FCP like tool through distance. Besides, in India, we do not have that strong and fault-free delivery system of distance learning programmes. Read the related advice: Is it worth to pursue a certificate course in non-linear editing from distance learning in India and why? The question has two sides to answer- Is it worth to do a course of this kind via distance learning and the other side is should it be done from India? Let us discuss the first thing first.
1. Linear editing is a thing of the past in this digital and technology-led age. Hence, it is the non-linear editing that remains the way video production is done for all the forms of films, documentary, TV serial or music videos, etc. Even news reporting videos are also customised. Seeing the demand for this task and knowing the essentials and challenges, it is not advisable or suggested that one should go for a no classroom model of learning "editing" of any kind and level. Distance learning, anywhere in the world it is, has its limitations. There are virtual platforms and ways like video conference, classes, etc. Or MOOCs that offer such learning. But, we must understand that the actual learning of skill through practical and hands-on while doing the course. If the place offers somewhat like near-regular classes or the student arranged for himself some training then only the distance learning course can do some good.
2. Based on the conclusion above, if the arrangement is made for proper practical training, then do it from India otherwise not. IGNOU offers some courses like this, other institutions might also offer, but it is not suggested to join a distance learning in this stream.
