Rajeev Shankar Gohil

A Professional Documentary Film Director and Cinematographer  from India since 1986. Presently working as Professor - Digital Film Making, previously I worked as a Lecturer of Film & Video at the University Level for 9 years continuously. Presently working as a Documentary Film Director/Cameraman , and visiting teaching faculty for Film & Video for professional Film & Video Courses. This is worth mentioning here that I fundamentally belong to the Film Medium but due to technological reasons and developments I later finally switched to the Video Format. As a lecturer of Film and Video I used to teach 1. History of World Cinema 2. Aesthetics of Cinema 3. Theories of Cinema 5. Technology  of Cinema Picture and Sound. 6. Lighting Technics and Equipment 7. Sound Technics and Equipment. I used to tech for both the formats i.e. Film and Video, but this course series is going to be fully focused and completely dedicated to Video. In present times we are in the era of Full HD Video format and even upto 4K - I will definitely dedicate my all lectures to Video Production in totality. My full Resume goes as follows:
