The art and science of bringing a story to screen.
Direction is the most comprehensive discipline in cinema. A director is simultaneously the storyteller, the visual architect, the people manager, and the final creative authority on a film. At Masterg, direction students work across every department before specialising — because the best directors understand every craft they direct.
Direct short films and features released on OTT platforms with full IMDB director credits.
Direction students learn how to make decisions under pressure: what to cut, what to repeat, when to simplify a setup, and how to protect performance while still making the day. The craft is technical, but the job is ultimately about clarity and leadership.
Light, lens, and the visual poetry of film.
Cinematography is the language of light. A Director of Photography shapes how a story feels — through camera movement, lens choice, lighting design, and colour. Masterg cinematography students shoot on professional cameras from day one, working on real productions rather than controlled classroom exercises.
Shoot multiple productions with DOP credits on IMDB. Graduate with a real reel, not a demo tape.
The program is built around repeatable set discipline: matching continuity, building motivated light quickly, protecting skin tone, and shooting coverage an editor can actually use. Students graduate knowing how to make images at both speed and standard.

The invisible art that makes a film breathe.
Editing is where a film is truly made. The editor controls pace, rhythm, emotion, and narrative clarity. At Masterg, editing students cut real footage from productions happening in the school around them — not sample reels or practice clips. Every edit you make is a contribution to a film that will reach an OTT audience.
Edit short films and features that receive OTT distribution. Graduate with professional editor credits on IMDB.
Editors are trained to think beyond software shortcuts. The real lesson is judgement: when to hold a shot, when to cut for performance, how to shape tension, and how to rescue a scene when production reality differs from the script.
- Non-linear editing on Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve
- Narrative editing theory and Kuleshov effect
- Pacing, rhythm, and montage
- Dialogue editing and scene assembly
- Music and sound sync in the edit

The invisible magic behind every modern film.
Visual effects have become an essential part of every film — from invisible wire removal on a drama to full CG environments in a fantasy. Masterg VFX students work on real production footage, executing the actual VFX shots for films that will be released on OTT platforms.
Execute real VFX shots on OTT-released productions. Graduate with VFX supervisor and artist credits on IMDB.
Students are judged on realism, not spectacle alone. The strongest VFX work disappears into the film, supports the director's intention, and survives colour grade and delivery without falling apart.
Half the experience of cinema happens through your ears.
Most people underestimate sound until they watch a film with bad audio. Sound shapes emotion, place, tension, and intimacy in ways that even the best visuals cannot. Masterg sound students work on real productions — from production recording to final OTT delivery mix — building a complete understanding of the full audio pipeline.
Sound-design and mix films released on OTT platforms. Graduate with sound designer and mixer credits on IMDB.
Students learn how to capture clean production audio, design detail without clutter, and deliver mixes that translate from a laptop speaker to a calibrated screening room.
- Production sound recording on set
- Boom operation and radio mic management
- ADR recording and dialogue replacement
- Foley design and performance
- Sound design and ambience building
- Music sync and score collaboration
- Final mix for OTT and theatrical formats
- Loudness standards and delivery specs
Truth in front of a lens. The hardest craft in cinema.
Screen acting is completely different from stage performance. The camera reads micro-expressions, internal thought, and emotional truth — anything performed is detected instantly. Masterg's screen acting training is built around the camera. Students are filmed from week one, trained to work with a director's feedback, and cast in real productions.
Act in OTT-released short films and features. Graduate with acting credits on IMDB and an on-screen reel.
Actors train for continuity, marks, lens distance, eyelines, and emotional calibration across takes. The goal is not theatrical display. The goal is believable screen behaviour that holds up in close-up and across an edit.
- Screen acting technique and emotional truth
- Scene work and cold reading
- Working with a director on set
- Continuity acting for multi-camera coverage
- Audition technique for OTT and film casting
- Character preparation and research
- Physical presence and blocking
- Self-tape production and slate technique
Every object, colour, and texture tells the story.
Production design is the most overlooked and most powerful storytelling tool in cinema. The art director shapes what every frame looks like before the camera rolls — building worlds, choosing palettes, and making a location feel like it belongs to a specific character and story. Masterg production design students work on real sets, designing for real films.
Design and dress sets for OTT-released productions. Graduate with production designer and art director credits on IMDB.
Production design students are taught to read the script like a storyteller and the budget like a producer. They learn how to make a frame feel specific, lived-in, and emotionally aligned without wasting money or slowing the schedule.
- Visual research and mood boarding
- Set dressing and art direction
- Prop selection and fabrication basics
- Colour theory for production design
- Location scouting and practical set building
- Collaboration with DOP on visual language
- Period and genre design principles
- Budget management for art departments
The blueprint of every great film starts here.
At Masterg, screenwriting is not a solitary academic exercise. Writers work alongside directors, cinematographers, and producers — writing scripts that actually go into production. The best training for a screenwriter is to watch their words become images. At Masterg, that's not theoretical. It happens every batch.
Write scripts that go into production and are released on OTT platforms. Graduate with screenwriter credits on IMDB.
Screenwriting students at Masterg learn to write for production reality — not for the page. Every script decision has to survive a crew, a schedule, and a budget. That constraint makes better writers.
