Film Production & Direction Pran's Media Institute aim at entertaining, informing and educating the audience and their making has to be viewed from technical, artistic as well as business angles. The producer is responsible for overseeing various activities and managing men, material and money required for this work. The director - a creative person - has to think in terms of pictures, take work from the performers in front of the camera as well as other who are behind it and we interested in reading and writing. Production/Direction & TV Journalism course has been designed to provide necessary education and training in the art and craft of screen presentation.

Due emphasis is laid on television journalism and writing for the screen with a view to making the training of a producer/director truly broad based. Students of this course are prepared required to make screen presentation using both single camera and multicamera production techniques. They are provided with an opportunity to face the camera during the production exercises. The students of Production/Direction & TV Journalism course plan and produce news and current affairs as well as fictional type of programmes under the watchful eyes of the experienced faculty. The academy also supports the commercial production of its alumni in all possible manner.

The Director is without a doubt not only a person who tells the story, but also one who fully understands why the story must be told and the manner in which it should be presented. A Director may or may not write the screenplay but certainly visualizes it, controlling the film's artistic and dramatic aspects while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of the vision. The emphasis here is on independent study and learning through the writing of and 'original' screenplay and the making of a film. The teacher is thus like a guide-by-the-side rather than a sage-on-the-stage. As part of the learning process, students also need to read recommended texts on Cinema, watch and analyze as many films as they can, from around the world and attend relevant cultural events in the city.
