Vaishali (Ghaziabad), Oct. 14: The students’ team led by Selva Malakia presented ‘Udaan’, documenting the events and activities of the past one month at Niscort, on the 14th of October, 2011. The print, radio and video formats of the documentation brought out the theme effectively.
However, the highlight of the presentation was the video depicting the visit of an alien to Niscort, who is introduced to various departments and persons at the institute. It was indeed a new concept of presenting the documentary intermixing with fictional elements. The editing and after-effects done by Selva, the make-up and acting of Jose as alien and the excellent video team-effort and co-ordination led by Beena Varghese were well appreciated by the audience.
The print team led by Reena Behera and the audio team led by Shaiju did a commendable job too. The radio drama ‘Dream’ was specially congratulated for apt sound-effects and wonderful voice over by the characters in the play.
While the staff and students appreciated the positives in the documentation, some deficiencies were pointed out and suggestions were proposed. “Link what’s happening at Niscort to bigger reality outside”, instructed Dr. Jude Botelho, the director. He further pointed out the purpose of our effort should be to ‘give a good and inspiring message’. Fr. Dejus, the system analyst giving critical analysis, felt that the video concept was like, ‘moving out of the box’. Giving concluding remarks, Fr. Jackson Louis advised the students that it is not enough to record but they also must know how to do the ‘mixing and mastering’ of the sound-effects.
Fr. Thomas D'Silva, MJ
