🎬✨ Cinematography Masterclass at School of Animation & Design, RBU ✨🎥
The School of Animation & Design, Rayat Bahra University had the privilege of hosting Mr. Harpal Singh — an experienced Cinematographer, DOP, and Camera Specialist associated with acclaimed films including Manje Bistre, Ardaas 2, Punjab 1984, and Chal Mera Putt 2 & 3, along with international shooting experience across the UK and Canada.
🎥 During the masterclass, he shared valuable practical insights into camera techniques, lighting design, cinematography fundamentals, and real on-set workflows. Students were introduced to the essentials of camera operation and the practical understanding required beyond simply learning different camera models.
🌍 The session also gave students exposure to real industry experiences, including challenges faced during international shoots and the working culture of professional productions.
💼 A major highlight of the interaction was the discussion around the wide range of career opportunities available in cinematography, film production, music video production, film business, and distribution — along with guidance on industry gaps, professional roles, and emerging opportunities for young creators.
💡 The highly interactive session helped students connect classroom learning with the realities of the media and entertainment industry.
🙏 We sincerely thank Mr. Harpal Singh for his valuable time, guidance, and inspiring interaction with the students.
✨ Through such industry engagements, the School continues to strengthen experiential learning and bridge the gap between academics and real-world creative practice.
