This research project tries to unfold the intricate connection between Dance, architecture, and narrative composition in Filmmaking, focusing on Indian cinema’s use of song sequences. By examining the role of movement in conveying emotions and perspectives within cinematic spaces and its impact on architectural representation, the study delves into the phenomenological aspects of spatial experience in film and architecture. Through analyzing cinematic techniques, such as basic camera movements and choreographed dance sequences, the thesis unravels how movement serves as a narrative tool, compressing and expanding storylines while highlighting character development and thematic elements. Additionally, the study investigates the representation of architecture in film sets, considering how textures, colors, and spatial elements contribute to the immersive cinematic experience. Drawing on examples from Bollywood and Indian classical cinema, the thesis elucidates how song sequences entertain and serve as narrative amplifiers, transitional devices, and mood enhancers, shaping audience perception and emotional engagement.
