Diploma in Editing & VFX

COURSE OVERVIEW

The Diploma in Editing & Cinematography (Production-Based Program) at Kantipur Film Academy (KFA) is an intensive 6-month professional training designed for aspiring cinematographers and editors who want to master visual storytelling through hands-on filmmaking.

This program focuses on both technical excellence and creative expression, covering cinematography, lighting, camera operation, editing, color correction, and green screen techniques. Students gain real production experience by working on short films, music videos, and academy film projects.

The first 4 months focus on specialized training in Cinematography & Editing, while the final 2 months combine students for full-scale film production, where they complete a final film project from script to screening.

Graduates receive practical exposure, portfolio development guidance, and direct industry experience through real film production environments.
