FILM
Film is a story recorded as a set of a moving picture to be shown or broadcasted to the people either in theatres or in form
of DVDs, or from online sources. Film is a young medium, at least compared to most other media. Painting, literature,
dance, and theatre have existed for thousands of years, but films came into existence only a little more than a century ago.
Yet in the fairly short span, the new corner has established it self as an energetic and powerful art form. The techniques
involved in making of a film are on a constant improvement with various new types that are coming up such as motion
pictures, animated movies, 3d films etc.

HISTORY OF INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY

Dhandiraj Govind Phadke inaugurated Indian Cinema with Raja Harishchandra in 1913,the first film in India to be shot with
an entirely Indian crew. Similarly, historical epics, legendary romances, and filmed biographies, the other principal genres
that emerged before the birth of the Indian talkies, grew in frequency and strength in 1930s and 40s. In such a way the
film industry in India started expanding and hence the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting decided to set up the FTII
in 1960.
Indian Film Industry is consist of different languages in film, major film industry in our country are :

• Hindi(BOLLYWOOD)
• Punjabi
• Bengali
• Telugu
• Tamil
• Malayalam
Present scenario in Indian Film Industry is our country produces the largest number of films annually , the number of films
made being 1500 per year on an average , which is almost 3 times as much as the number of films made in the US. Yet, the
reach of the film industry is limited to a very small number. The industry needs to reach out to more people and for this
new talent need to get into the industry. This could make newcomers more optimistic about getting opportunities and
contributing to Indian cinema.

FILM EDUCATION IN INDIA

The Education system of filmmaking has taken a backseat, giving students who have the potential to do well professionally
with very few opportunities to get into the actual film making process. Students are lacking in practical knowledge which is
required in their field of study. Sometimes, they need to unlearn what was previously taught to them to adapt to the
working style in their professional field and start all over again. Making amore creative environment for teaching, giving
them opportunities for a more experiential way of learning filmmaking and more networking opportunities could be a way
which could take the students a step closer to being successful and to contribute to the Indian Film Industry.
• Film institutes in India are very less as compare to the film produces annually.

• Government funded film institute and private institute have a big difference in our country only 2 governments funded
film institute and 1 drama institute in India

• FTII PUNE one the renowned film institute in India established in 1962.

• SATYAJEET RAY FILM & TELEVISION INSTITUTE (SRFTI) KOLKATA established in 1992.
• Government should introduce new film institute so talents can get opportunities to show their work in a national level.
• Infrastructure of the institute should designed according to the students requirements , making films is a part of their
curriculum so within a campus they should have accessibility to the film sets but institute doesn‘t have a permanent
sets, institute only provide indoor film set which somehow didn‘t give that exposer to the students.
• Film institute should have facilities of indoor & outdoor shooting area for the students.
• FTII Pune, governments has started making permanent sets like India gate which is a good initiative.
• SRFTI campus has its own lake and forest inside the campus, where student use that location in a Films.
• Collaboration the professional practice with the professional education by involving experienced professionals to work
with the students could prove to be mutually beneficial to both the parties.
MALAYALAM CINEMA
Malayalam cinema is the Indian film industry based in the southern state of Kerala, dedicated to the production of motion
pictures in the Malayalam language. It is also known by the Mollywood in various print and online media.

During the early 1920s the Malayalam film industry was based in Thiruvananthapuram, although the film industry started
to develop and flourish only by the late 1940s. Later the industry shifted to Chennai, which then was the capital of the
South Indian film industry. By the late 1980s, the Malayalam film industry returned and established itself in Kerala with the
majority of locations, studios, production and post-production facilities being located in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
Several media sources describe Kochi as the hub of the film industry.

GROWTH OF MALAYALAM CINEMA

Active Malayalam film production did not take place until the second half of the 20th century: there were only two silent
films, and three Malayalam-language films before 1947.

With support from the Kerala state government production climbed from around 6 a year in the 1950s, to 30 a year in the
1960s, 40 a year in the 1970s, to 127 films in 1980.
AFTER 2010

After several years of quality deterioration, Malayalam films saw the signs of massive resurgence after 2010 with the
release of several experimental films mostly from new directors. New Wave is characterized by fresh and unusual themes
and new narrative techniques. These films differ from conventional themes of the 1990s and 2000s and have introduced
several new trends to the Malayalam industry.

Christian Brothers (2011) was released worldwide with a total of 310 prints on 18 March; it went to 154 centres in Kerala,
90 centres outside Kerala and 80 centres overseas, making it the widest release for a Malayalam film at that time. This
record was later broken by Peruchazhi (2014), which released in 500 screens worldwide on 29 August. Drishyam (2013)
became the first Malayalam film to cross the 500 million mark at the box office. The film was critically acclaimed and was
remade in four languages. Later, in 2016, Pulimurugan became the first Malayalam film to cross the 1 billion mark at the
box office.
MOVIE PRODUCTION
• If Bollywood is be taken in consideration, total number of films produced here As per projection, population of Kerala in
2021 is 3.48 Crore.
is approximately 150–200 per year. In 2019 Bollywood released around 170 films.
Last census for Kozhikode district was done
In 2020, so far Bollywood has released only 45 films. only in 2011 and next such census would
only be in 2021. But as per estimate and
• In comparison to other Indian film industries like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and projection, population of Kozhikode district
in 2018 is 32.33 Lakhs compared to 2011
Kannada, Bollywood made almost similar numbers of films like them. Malayalam census figure of 30.86 Lakhs.

film industry produces maximum number of films every year ranging from 200 – 250.

• The Malayalam film industry is India's fourth largest film industry.

• In Malayalam industry they produces almost similar amount of films in an

year as compared to Bollywood industry.

Film institutes

• A Film Institute is an educational institution dedicated to teaching aspects of film-making , including such subjects as
film production, film theory, digital media production, and screen writing. Film schools also include courses and training
in such subjects as television production, broadcasting, audio engineering, and animation

Film institutes in Kerala

• In Kerala there are only less than 10 top film education institutes located.

• Few of them are named Kerala Chalachithra Academy , Cochin Media School ,K R Narayanan National Institute Of visual
science and arts ,Chetana film institute , etc.

• All of them are located in the south part of Kerala state.

• As a fastest growing industry we need more institutes to provide accurate film education to the younger generation of
Kerala.
PROCESS OF FILM MAKING
Filmmaking involves a number of discrete stages including an initial story, idea, or commission, through scriptwriting,
casting, shooting, editing, and screening the finished product before an audience that may result in a film release and
exhibition. Filmmaking takes place in many places around the world in a range of economic, social, and political contexts,
and using a variety of technologies and cinematic techniques. Typically, it involves a large number of people, and can take
from a few months to several years to complete. Making of movie consists of complex processes with different individuals
or departments working. All of these individuals and department works together under a film director and is also known
captain of ship. All the processes are divided into five steps according to their execution i.e.

• Development

• Pre-production

• Production

• Post production

• Distribution
PROCESS OF FILM MAKING
• Development : This is the first and the most important step of film making. During this step idea of film is
generated. That may be an original idea or may be derived from somewhere like novels, story, existing movie but
old one. If the movie is derived then permission is taken from the original creator. After that producer hires a
writer, they work together and prepare a synopsis of the story. Here changes are made to the story if there is one.
After the satisfying synopsis a step outline is prepared because synopsis is more like an abstract and step outline
is a detailed form. But step outline don‘t have any kind of dialogue and is just a detail story of a film. After the
satisfying step outline, a 25 to 30 page treatment is prepared. Treatment contains more stage directions and less
dialogue. If felt necessary, drawings are also attached with it so that one can understand key point of the story.
The next step in the development phase is to arrange the finance necessary for the movie. After the completion
and approval of the treatment producer and screenwriter visits potential financers to seek the financial help for
the movie. After the approval by potential financers, they sign different contracts and agreements under different
financial terms and conditions. Then a screenplay for the movie is prepared by screenplay writer so that writing
work for the movie is completed and film gets a full story. After this, film proceeds towards the pre-production
phase of film making.
PROCESS OF FILM MAKING

• PRE-PRODUCTION : During this phase of film making preparations are made for film making. Cast and crews are
hired, location is finalized and permissions are taken and sets are built for indoor shooting of the film. To control all
these activities and all other activities during filmmaking and promotions a production office is established which
controls all the activities and does all the paper work necessary during film making. After this a film is previsualized
using storyboard method for which sketch artists are hired. The process of pre visualization is done so that actors,
directors, makeup artists etc. responsible for filmmaking can get the story clearly. During this phase, a budget plan is
drawn up to manage the budget and cut-off the unnecessary expenditure of the film. After all this, film is ready for the
production phase

• PRODUCTION : Work of film actually starts from this phase. During this phase, raw footage for film is recorded. More
crew members like property master, script supervisor, assistant director etc. are recruited. A typical day of shooting
starts with the arrival of technical crew members like lighting persons, art director, dress super visors etc. in a set or
location as they have to prepare set/location for shooting. It may take hours and in some cases it may take days too.
After this, actors arrive in the set/location at the time of their calling. Usually actors are called according to the
schedule of shooting on that day. Then they go to the dressing areaand put on their dress and makeup according to
scene. They then rehearse with their co-actors, director, camera man and sound crew.
PROCESS OF FILM MAKING
• After this when the set/location is ready for final take all the crew members arrives at the place. Assistant
directors then instruct everyone to be quite. Then he informs sound and camera to be record respectively. After
that director says ―action‖ and actors acts for the final take. When the take is over the director says ―cut‖ and
sound and camera stops recording. If the director decides to take the additional take whole of the process starts
again. Once the director is satisfied the crew moves to next camera angel or setup. While actors and crew
members are taking final shot in one setup, another group of crew members prepares set/ location for another
shot so as to save the time. When shooting is finished for the scene assistant director declares that the scene is
over and crew members dismantle the set and moves on to next setup. At the end of the day director approves
next day shooting schedule and a daily progress report is sent to production office. After the completion of this
phase it is customary to give wrap up party by production office to the entire crew and cast for their efforts and
hard work.

• POST-PRODUCTION : In this phase of film making final touch is given to the movie like assembly of raw footage,
editing and dubbing of dialogue, visual effects etc and finally all sound elements are mixed and the movie is fully
completed.
PROCESS OF FILM MAKING
• DISTRIBUTION : In this phase the movie is finally released in cinemas or occasionally to media in the form of DVD, CD,
VHS, Blue ray or direct download from the internet website. The film is duplicated and distributed to the cinemas as
required. Press kits, posters, and other advertising materials are published and the film is advertised and promoted.
After all of these processes finally the movie enters the market.

FILM SETS
Film institute generally have indoor shooting space for the students, where sets are designed by the students and most of
the time Films are made in a low budget so they don‘t go the lavish sets and sets are reused again and again to save time
and money. Types of sets in institute are:

1) INDOOR SET

2) OUTDOOR SET

3) ACTUAL SET

4) ARTIFICIAL SET
I N D O O R S E T : The indoor facilities are broadly categorized into production facilities,
post production facilities along with the ancillary services.

Types of indoor sets

1) Sound stage

2) Underwater shooting

S O U N D S T A G E – A sound stage is a very large and secured property designed for film
related constructions and filming. They are built as enclosed, sound-roof structures with
catwalks, rigs and ceiling lights that play a crucial role in film shooting. These stages aid in the
preparation of sets, props and conduct tests and experiments to finalize a movie’s various
shots. Apart from the various undesired sounds that one has to overcome during location SOUND STAGE
shooting, a sound stage provides the framework to work within the perimeter of a
soundproof zone and controlled security. Here the production doesn‘t have to worry about
the sun’s angle or the sudden cloud cover but rely heavily on electricity, lighting and their
required positions. Shooting on a sound stage or studio helps minimize travel time for the
production. It can already serve as multiple locations for the movie. This is done by simply
dividing the very large space into different areas with the right sets and props for each
division. A sound stage also has large entrance and exit points for easy transferring of very
large sets and props. Even smaller studios typically provide such accessible areas as well. At
the same time, these shooting locations offer the convenience of large parking spaces for the
many trucks and trailers used by the production. AUCKLAND FILM STUDIO – SOUND STAGE
U N D E R W AT E R S H O O T I N G - These studios are a bit special in the

sense that they require a water tank within the studio. The heights of these

tanks vary while some studios tend to place these stages near a natural

or artificial outdoor water body in order to take the advantage of a

horizon. Another important factor is the drainage system of these studios

and certain amount of natural light and natural ventilation should also

be ensured. One of the comprehensive underwater filming facilities are UNDER WATER FILM FACILITY IN PINEWEOOD INDOMINA STUDIO

available in Pinewood Indomina Studios.

O U T D O O R S E T : In a studio complex, there should be ample space for outdoor shooting. Even though filmmakers often prefer
going out into actual locations for shooting, it is not always easy to avail that option. To mention a few problems that film makers
encounter include massive crowd control troubles and damage to filming equipment. Just as indoor studios have certain dimensions
within which the shots are taken depending on the set designers‘ expertise to makeover the space; outdoor locations cannot be
strictly defined. One of the major aspects of these spaces should be its flexibility.
Types of outdoor shooting areas :

1) Backlots

2) Artificial sets or natural settings

3) Actual locations

B A C K L O T S : Thus, studio-complexes around the world have a space named as Backlots that can accommodate massive standing
sets. These sets are changed according to the need of the script and the demand of the film maker.
This area should:

• have accessibility via a vehicular road to bring in services to construct sets

• be in close proximity to the workshops

• be adequately connected to electrical system

• preferably have a green background (forests, hills, etc.) on one or more sides

• have storage facilities nearby

BACKLOTS OF WARENER BROS STUDIO
A R T I F I C I A L S E T S O R N AT U R A L S E T T I N G S : Along with the backlots, an integrated studio complex can design vast open
spaces resembling dense forests, hills, dams, fountains, paddy fields, Helipads, rail-tracks, straight and serpentine roads, gardens
and other natural settings. Another facility that a film city can offer its film makers are ready made sets of Village setting, Urban
Street, Office buildings, Jails, Courts, Stations etc. over which the facade can be altered according to the film makers liking. The
Ramoji Film City, Universal Studios and many other studio complexes are providing many such on the spot facilities. Creating these
sets would mean giving extra attention to the overall landscape of the site. Ranging from the different types of trees that would
surround this zone, transitions between paved, semi-paved and lush green spaces should be well organized.

A C T U A L S E T S : This is the most desirable mode of filming although this increases the cost of a film manifold. Ranging from seeking
permission from the government of different countries to managing the cast and crew in that location, the essence of that place is always a
difficult task to recreate artificially in a studio complex.

In the recent past, many films have been extensively shot in foreign locations:
PROCESS OF FILM MAKING
This thesis aims to design a film institute that merges the theory and practice of filmmaking by creating spaces that
facilitate experiential learning. A mixed-use program is introduced with studio and theatres that create a self-sustaining
campus. This will also have a theatre spaces and plazas for the public to experience films as a finished form as well as in
the process of making.

ROOM ACOUSTICS
• The term “room acoustics” refers to the physical shape and material composition of a particular room and how those properties
affect the acoustic environment of the space.
• Primary concerns in the realm of room acoustics include: reverberation time (decay of sound), even sound distribution and
lateral sound reflections (envelopment of sound) and the presence of unwanted sound reflections or echoes.
• Practice rooms should be relatively ― “dry” so that a student can hear his instrument‘s articulation and intonation without
being colored by the room‘s
• resonance.
• The classroom acoustic character should be ―neutral‖, that is very pleasing for a speaker to instruct in and for a student in a
back row to hear. The studios, depending on the particular instrument being taught are usually more ― “live” acoustically.
• But if also used for lecture it should have the ability to be changed acoustically to a ― “dry’ space so that speech can be
understood.
• The rooms should be rectangular with the ratio of approx. 1 : 1.1
• Walls should be non-parallel. Rooms should be flat floor with portable risers as required.
• A wood , sound reflective floor is ideal.
• Heights or rehearsal rooms should be in the 24 to 26 Ft
SOUND ISOLATION
• Sound isolation concerns issues relating to the isolation of the spaces from unwanted external and internal noises.
• The sound isolation of practice rooms, studios and classrooms is of paramount importance in a music facility.
• Room to room isolation should be of sufficient value so that one student or instructor is not distracted by another in an
adjacent room
• Performance spaces, studios and ensemble rooms generally require the highest level of isolation, followed by practice rooms
and then classrooms.
• Isolation from the exterior should be sufficient so that vehicular, aircraft, and student traffic will not interfere with the music
practice/instruction process.

BLUE SCREEN AND MOTION CAPTURE

• Motion capture ,motion tracking are terms used to describe the process of
recording& translating that into a digital model.
• It is used in military, entertainment ,sports & medical applications. In film
making it refers to recording actions of human actors & using that information
to animate digital character models in 2D or 3D computer animation.
• In motion capture sessions, movements of one or more actors are sampled
many times per second, although with most techniques (recent developments
from wet use images for 2D motion capture and project into 3D) motion
capture records only the movements of the actor, not his/her visual
appearance. This animation data is mapped to a 3D model so that the model MOTION CAPTURING IN HOLLYWOOD MOVIE
performs the same actions as the actor.

SITE PLAN
• The site is divided along the lateral axis and forms 3 zones.
• The zones at the extreme ends consist of residential buildings and huge open spaces in the front.
• The remaining zone, which forms the centre consists of the administration and academic dept. This is the main
institutional area of the campus.
• The residential buildings have the maximum advantage of the spaces.
• Since all the institutional buildings are part of the same zone, the movement during working hours gets convenient.
• As the vehicular access cuts through the pedestrian zones, the pedestrian movement gets disturbed, thus making it
uncomfortable.
• The institutional zone is further divided into-film wing and television wing. The film wing lies on the northern part of
the campus, while the T.V wing is on the south side

Site Area : 50 Acres

Affiliation – Calicut University

Chetana college of media and performing

arts is an institute located in Thrissur

district in Kerala. It launched as a
undergraduate college, would eventually
expand into a full-fledged centre of
learning, production and performance,
offering, graduate and doctoral
programmes, thus molding our students
as creative artists and academicians. Our
dream is not to be just a college, but to
bloom fully into a Media University in the
near future.

DESIGN CONCEPT :
• Eco-friendly construction.

• Most of the trees and plants on the site are conserved without harming it anyway.

• Clay hollow bricks are used in walls instead of windows. It helps to get sufficient amount of
day light inside the campus and classrooms.

• Concrete roofs kept in a non-plastered style which gives the classrooms a different look.

• Open stages , open reading area & outdoor spots gives a good interactive space for the
students. TREE INSIDE CAMPUS

ANALYSIS AND INFERENCE OF LIVE CASE STUDY
Name : CHETANA COLLEGE MEDIA AND PERFORMING ARTS
Location : Chiyyaram ,Thrissur ,Kerala.
Site Area : 48 acre

• Chetana provides perfect environment to learning film education for students.

• The campus is little inner from the main road, so that no distractions from road will occur.

• Sound studio is present in the campus is used for both production and study purpose. So students can’t practice at the

time of film production. So there is a need of additional sound studio for study purpose only.

• Students can’t learn much because of the lack modern filming equipment.

• Few residences are present around the site. So they are complaining about the noise from campus accordingly. So it is

compulsory to keep campuses away from residences to avoid the noise issues to the neighbors.
