 Interview with Our Student Elifnur Yılmaz at the "From Camera to Light - Film Technologies" Event!


Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU), Faculty of Fine Arts (FAF), Department of Communication and Design Lecturer Ahmet Bikic attended with his students the "From Camera to Light - Film Technologies" event held in Dedeman Istanbul on May 9, 2023, as part of the Content Production on Digital Platforms II course. We interviewed Elifnur Yılmaz, a double major student of our department, who participated in the event.


1- Hi Elif, first of all, can you tell us about yourself?

Hello, I'm Elifnur Yilmaz. I am a 4th-year student at Istanbul Gelişim University, New Media Communications Department, and a 3rd-year student at the Communication Design Department. In addition to my academic education, where social media and communication are intertwined, I am working on social media content production in these areas. I am working on producing content for Instagram and Youtube platforms and shooting documentaries.

2- How did you hear about the "From Camera to Light - Film Technologies" experience day event held in Dedeman Istanbul?

I am taking the Content Production on Digital Platforms course, which is included in the elective course pool in the curriculum of the Department of Communication and Design. Thanks to the sharing of Lecturer Ahmet Bikic, who teaches this course, I became aware of it.

3- What is the importance of the event “From Camera to Light - Film Technologies” for you? Did this event meet your expectations? Do you think it is useful to you?

As someone who is related to Digital Content Production and closely follows up-to-date technologies, I participated in this event with my team, where I run projects. Since we are in the sector, technologies related to the field are a very important factor for us. It has been very beneficial for us to be aware of these areas up to date and to have the opportunity to experience equipment such as light.

This event, in which university students can participate, met our expectations to a great extent and we hope that the activities will continue.

4- Finally, do you have any advice for your friends?

It was a good event for us together with my team that I participated in. I recommend everyone to follow and participate in such events. As a result, in this period when technology and other sectors are intertwined, everyone should be aware of the latest developments and participate in these events where they can get up-to-date information.

We would like to thank Lecturer Ahmet Bikiç for this event he organized and for the interview she gave to our dear student Elifnur Yılmaz.
