AWANTIPORA: The Department of Journalism and Mass Communication (DJMC), Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), organised a workshop on ‘Techniques of Filmmaking,’ drawing active participation from students, faculty and research scholars.
Renowned filmmaker, Kapil Mattoo, served as the resource person for the session. With years of experience behind the camera, Mattoo deliberated on the evolving language of cinema, the power of visual storytelling, and the responsibility of storytellers in shaping narratives, especially from regions like Kashmir.
“People don’t realise the power they have in their hands, which is a mobile phone,” Mattoo said, urging budding filmmakers to use available tools creatively and consciously.
He underscored the growing global recognition of regional cinema and called on students to tell human-centric stories rooted in Kashmiri soil. The workshop covered a wide range of practical aspects, including how to develop a script, write a logline, define main characters and their conflicts, identify goals, objectives, and create cinematic tension.
During the workshop, the students also interacted with RJ Umar Nissar, who had started his radio journey at DJMC through the Pesh Kadam radio programme. Head, DJMC, Dr. Rabia Noor proposed vote of thanks to speakers and the participants.
