AI-assisted filmmaking took centre stage as Panasonic Lumix India organised a one-day advanced cinematography workshop at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Polytechnic College in Bhopal, giving students enrolled in the Applied Videography programme hands-on industry exposure. Around 50 students attended the workshop, where they explored modern filmmaking techniques, advanced camera systems and the growing role of AI in content creation through practical demonstrations and interactive sessions. Filmmaker Aditya Kumar Chourasia, who led the workshop, said advances in open-source software and AI tools have made professional filmmaking more accessible. AI Encourages Practical LearningHead of the Department Avdesh Singh said the workshop offered students valuable practical experience that would otherwise take much longer to gain through classroom learning alone. The workshop concluded with an interactive question-and-answer session, where participants discussed cinematography, emerging filmmaking technologies and the expanding role of AI in the creative industry with experts.
