ABSTRACT
India, despite having a diverse culture,is united by cricket and movies.The Indian lms especially
play a major role in bringing people together by its content and narrative.Also,movie theaters
are a place where people from different culture and religion gather and share common interests.
Being the largest democracy in the world with more than 1.2 billion population,the reach of the
lm industry is limited to only 45 million.This is quite low comparing when one compares it with the
middle class population of the country,which is as high as 300 million.The movies need to reach
out more as they are now a part of Indian culture and more people need to contribute to it.
One of the major reasons for its limitation in reach is the lack of cine-
ma screens in the country and proper infrastructure for shooting in lm cities.
The United States of America,having less than a quar-
ter of Indian population has 4 times as many screens.
To reach up-to America’s level Indian cinema needs three times better infrastructure and services.
Furthermore,it is dif cult for a new comer to enter the lm eld without any inner con-
nections.Opportunities are presented more on the basis of connections than on mer-
it.This leads to a large number of lm students to struggle initially to make a mark.
This thesis aims at bringing the gap between theory and practice of lm mak-
ing and to provide students without inner connections with equal opportunities.
Also this project also aims at generating more inter-
est in the local community about movies and its cultural values.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
“LIGHTS , CAMERA, ACTION!” These words conjure in our mind’s movie sets in the heyday of the
movie studios.India produces the most number of lms annually,the number of lms made being
1500 per annum on a mean,which is nearly 3 times the maximum amount because the number
of lms made in United States.Yet,the the reach of movie industry is restricted to a really small
number, Issue faced by lmmakers in India is the process and lack of practical or experimental
knowledge gained by live experience of the process and lack of opportunities to get them in-
volved. Another problem is the lack of opportunities to get them involved and the lack of spac-
es with the infrastructure to equip advanced production technology.A Film institute is an edu-
cational institution dedicated to teach aspects of lm making, lm theory , Screenplay Writing,
Digital Media production,Audio Engineering,Television Production,Broad casting and animation.
1.2 AIM
The project focuses on providing learning spaces for students who seeks interest in Filmaking,Film
Production ,Film Editing,Sound Production,Acting,Animation making and Costume designing and
a commercial place for artists from outside to shoot,prepare and publish their work in the world and
provide a better and supporting infrastructure for newly developing lm city Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
To provide a supporting infrastructure for small artists and newly developing Film city of Noida.
The project have various spaces which can be utilized by public and to promote the lm city of
Noida, and increase revenue from it simultaneous provide with well prepared students and staff.
Creative auxiliary facilities that would help run the institute smoothly
Rajiv Menon , a well known name in the Indian lm industry and ad lm making,-
said “ Besides, having a lm city , UP should also work on raising a home grown tal-
ent , daily wage workers.That’s one way to also get corporation from local people. “
Film-making, he said should be a self sustaining activity throughout the year.The Mumbai
lm industry has a lot of people from UP.Those people can be called back to UP to work.
India produces the largest number of lms in the whole world , but still lack in world-
wide recognition. With a population of 1.2 billion it with various different languag-
es and cultures it becomes important for talent and community to have a prop-
er infrastructure for their talent to grow and have a worldwide recognition.
And plus lm industry leads to much more occupation options and pro-
vide employment to many which can improve the economy of Uttar Pradesh.
1.5COURSES OFFERED
1.6SCOPE OF WORK
The total facility envisaged would require the design of the following:
Auditorium
Movie theater
Exhibition area
Of ces
Open air screening areas
Creating an activated urban environment to house the various functions.
The site is located in the Noida which is situated in the NCR region of India.
Largest Film city of India is proposed and under construction.Thus,it is most suitable for a
lm institute to improve the infrastructure and being in a prime location it can grab some
attraction in public towards it.
India is one of the earliest civilization in the world,It is also one of the larg-
est democratic country with a population of over 1.2 billion people.Peo-
ple here are divided by religion and their individual culture,but they are unit-
ed through festivals and celebration like diwali,holi,eid,christmas and so on.
Otherthan festivals,celebrations,the twomajorthings that unite the countryare cricket and lms.
India makes the most lms per year,with an average of 1500 pro-
duced each year,about three times the amount produced in the United
The lmmaking education system has suffered a major setback,leaving students with the abil-
ity to work professionally with few chances to participate in the real lmmaking process.In In-
dia,the lmmaking industry operates in such a manner that only those with connections to the
industry are given the ability to participate in the actual lmmaking process,despite they di-
rected a movie or even trained in lmmaking.As a result,it becomes very dif cult for young lm
students to get into industry.Having a more innovative teaching atmosphere,providing op-
portunities for more experimental way of studying mmaking,and providing more networking
opportunities for students could help them succeed and contribute to the Indian lm industry.
2.8.2 PRE-PRODUCTION
2.8.3 PRODUCTION
Year : 200
Location : Chicago
●The project is one of the fewest project that gather these forms of art in one place in this
highly connected way.
Public Spaces :
-Exhibition,performance,and screening
spaces hold programs throughout the year.
Most are open to the publicand many are free.
The idea of the long, low, skylit
building of studios and theaters,
and the tower of the arts came
from imagining the at prairies of
the Midwest and the great towers
of Chicago. The quiet low “plains”
building will provide three oors of
beautifully lit studios, a gallery,
music practice rooms and theat-
ers that are spatial surprises. The
presence of the tower on the south
side of the Midway announces a
new home for the creative life of
students and faculty and a pub-
lic venue for residents of the city.
-Sepereating mechani-
cal and storage completly.
-Year : 2008
Project Aim
Landscape
- In order to claim the majority of the property to landscape,many functions were pushed
to sub-grad levels,in turn,giving a non abrasive sculptureal disposition of building above.
-The landscape theme is a minimalistic one and where oasis are introduced as sub-grade
light wells,rocks from the Rum desert light grade light wells,rocks from the Rum desert are
staged as mystical elements and re ective pools capture sun rays and passing clouds above.
Light as a matter
-The lighting is staged to allow students the opportunity to observe the nature of light.
Light showers down on many areas and often in intense slices through sculpture skylights.
Shadows as a matter
Like light,shadows are enhanced as a matter in a variety of form , dark areas perco-
late both still and moving shadows while other forms cast vivid and textured ones.
-IInteractive environment : locating semi public (editing area) with students and public areas.
Exchange domain
Great lms are a by product of collaborative and synergetic team effort.Most circulation spac-
es and open outdoor ones are articulated to become social and celebratory domains where
converations and exchange of ideas are not only welcomed but enhanced and promoted.
Layering
Project Aim :
The building is designed in such a way that it everything is linked through a com-
mon space-admin which is actually a key feature of this campus,as outsid-
ers also sometimes uses studios so its easy for circulation and management.
Site Analysis
-The location is on a steep location and from north to south it descend upwards.
-Access to the site is from the north and entrance to the structure from the south.

MECHANICAL SERVICES
How can mechanical ventilation and facade enhance my design?
Looking at the no. of spaces and the area required for mechanical venti-
lation providing kinetic facade can be used to save some energy as well
as provide us with required environment at the time of speci c activity.
Providing this kind of facde can also enhance building elevation and also user experience.
7.2 OBJECTIVES
To conduct site study and analyze for the mechanical service required
-Site and Location
-Cimate and temperature
-Wind and inferences
Comparative Analysis
-To compare different mechanical services with respect to adopted
one.
-To analyze the pros and cons
Film Institute consists of many spaces from which natural light need to be com-
pletly eliminated.But people are still working full time there,so we need mchan-
ical ventilation for thermal comfort and for them to acheive productive day.
Spaces in the project which require elimination of natural light are explained further:
1. SOUNSTAGES
Soundstages are spaces where shooting happens,the spaces have huge lighting set-
up which obviously have great illuminance and generate a huge amount of heat
in the room. Thus, mechanical ventilation becomes a necessity of these spaces.
2. AUDITORIUM
3. RECORDING ROOMS
The report will be limited to preparation of broad services scheme and not de-
tailed drawings.The preparation of detailed drawings of selected important spac-
es and services only may be prepared if required.The area calculation for mechan-
ical design will be limited to only the area for which the drawings will be prepared for.
7.4 LIMITATIONS
The report focuses on HVAC system in particular spaces and re safety plans and stand-
ards for the building.
As the above readings tells that Noida lies in Hot and Humid category .
In Noida, the wet season is hot, oppressive, and partly cloudy and the dry sea-
son is warm and mostly clear. Over the course of the year, the tempera-
ture typically varies from 3°c to 39°F and is rarely below 5°F or above 43°F..
A humid climate is de ned as one where the average monthly latent load of outside air meets
or exceeds the average monthly sensible load for any month during the cooling season.
The latent cooling load is the energy required to remove moisture from
the air; the sensible cooling load is the energy required to cool the air
7.5 SELECTING HVAC SYSTEM
7.5.1 Which HVAC system is most suitable for Institutes?
System Alternates:
The variable air volume syatem can control the amount of air supplied to each zone with a
constant temperature in a building.The system can control the heating and cooling air quality
that goes into different rooms rather than CAV system that only change the temperature of
a room.The VAV system can save both energy and cost.It’s more ef cient than CAV system.
The system is perfect to be used in large building with multiple spaces and mutiple hvac
requirement.The system seems t for all other spaces like mechanical room,bathrooms
and storage because system can provide with different temperature for different spaces.
7.5.4 SYSTEM SELECTION
To select which system is the best choice for our college auditorium building,we need to
nd the most important aspects we need to take care to found the tted HVAC system.
The criteria used in selecting appropriate HVAC systems for buildings and structures,with
emphasis on criteria pertaining to the college auditorium are listed in three categories:
owner’s concern,system characteristics and performance measures.
CAV Pros:
-Simple design of system
-Low maintainance/long lifespan
-Good temperature control
-Inexpensive
-Different conditions meet at different zones
VAV Pros:
-Different rooms will have different temperature
-Low maintainance/long lifespan
-Ef cient/low cost
-Easily control temperature and air ow in the space.
All in all,I select Multi-zone of VAV and CAV system that VAV system for all halls and labs
and main lobby and CAV system for Film studios.

7.7 COOLING LOAD BASIC TERMONOLOGIES
COOLING LOADS
The cooling load is the amount of heat energy that would need to be removed from
a space (cooling) to maintain the temperature in an acceptable range.
TERMINOLOGIES
Commonly used terms relative to heat transmission and load calculations are de ned
below in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 12-75, Refrigeration Terms and De nitions.
Room Zone – is an enclosed or partitioned space that is usually treated as single load.
British thermal unit (Btu) - is the approximate heat required to raise 1 lb. of water 1
deg Fahrenheit, from 590F to 600F. Air conditioners are rated by the number of British
Thermal Units (Btu) of heat they can remove per hour. Another common rating term
for air conditioning size is the “ton,” which is 12,000 Btu per hour and Watts. Some
countries utilize one unit, more than the others and therefore it is good if you can
remember the relationship between BTU/hr, Ton, and Watts.
• 1 ton is equivalent to 12,000 BTU/hr. and
• 12,000 BTU/hr is equivalent to 3,516 Watts - or 3.516 kW (kilo-Watts).
Radiant Heat Gain – the rate at which heat absorbed is by the surfaces enclosing the
space and the objects within the space.
Space Heat Gain – is the rate at which heat enters into and/or is gen-
erated within the conditioned space during a given time interval.
Space Heat Extraction Rate - the rate at which heat is removed from the conditioned
space and is equal to the space cooling load if the room temperature remains constant.
Relative humidity - describes how far the air is from saturation. It is a useful term for ex-
pressing the amount of water vapor when discussing the amount and rate of evaporation
7.8 FIRE SAFETY NORMS BY THE NATIONAL BUILDING CODES OF INDIA.
This Part covers the requirements for re prevention, life safety in relation to re and
re protection of buildings. The Code speci es construction, occupancy and pro-
tection features that are necessary to minimize danger to life and property from re.
Fire zone: The city or area under the jurisdiction of the Authority shall for the purpose
of the Code, be demarcated into distinct zones, based on re hazard inherent in the
buildings and structures according to occupancy, which shall be called as ‘Fire Zones’.
Type of construction: The design of any building and the type of materi-
als used in its construction are important factors in making the building resist-
ant to a complete burn-out and in preventing the rapid spread of re, smoke
or fumes, which may otherwise contribute to the loss of lives and property.
Life Safety - Covering life safety provisions in the event of re and simi-
lar emergencies, also addressing construction and occupancy features that
are necessary to minimize danger to life from re, smoke, fumes or panic.
Capacities of Exits: The unit of exit width, used to measure the capacity of
any exit, shall be 500 mm. A clear width of 250 mm shall be counted as an ad-
ditional half unit. Clear widths less than 250 mm shall not be counted for exit width.
Number of Exits: The general requirements of number of exits shall supplement the re-
quirement of different occupancies. All buildings, which are 15 m in height or above,
and all buildings used as educational, assembly, institutional, industrial, storage, and haz-
ardous occupancies and mixed occupancies with any of the aforesaid occupancies,
having area more than 500 m² on each oor shall have a minimum of two staircases.
Doorways: Every exit doorway shall open into an enclosed stairway or a horizontal
exit of a corridor or passageway providing continuous and protected means of egress.
Exit doorways shall open outwards, that is, away from the room, but shall not obstruct
the travel along any exit. No door, when opened, shall reduce the required width of
stairway or landing to less than 900 mm; overhead or sliding doors shall not be installed.
Horizontal Exits: The width of horizontal exit shall be same as for the exit
doorways. A horizontal exit shall be equipped with at least one re/smoke
door of minimum 1 h re resistance, of self-closing type. Further, it is re-
quired to have direct connectivity to the re escape staircase for evacuation.
Covering the signi cant appurtenances and their related components and guide-
lines for selecting the correct type of equipment and installation meant for re pro-
tection of the building, depending upon the classi cation and type of the building.
