CinemaScope holds three-day workshop

CinemaScope, a film apprenticeship program of Media Studies and Journalism department at ULAB, has recently organized a workshop styled Mise-en-Scene. Renowned filmmakers Amitabh Reza Chowdhury and Zahidur Rahim Anjan conducted the workshop dividing it into three segments.

The second session on January 9 focused on script writing. The apprentices came up with a script each while the mentor brushed up the ideas for further improvement.

The final segment of the workshop was held on January 14 with a presentation by Amitabh Reza Chowdhury. During the session, apprentices learned the step-by-step process of film production. Citing examples, Amitabh Reza Chowdhury guided the apprentices towards a possible and realistic production plan. The workshop ended with a script analysis of the upcoming CinemaScope production.
