 INTRODUCTION
In a person’s life entertainment for essential for he/she. Now-a-days cinema
influence and touches every sphere of our life. Information technology is reaching
everywhere and cinema hall is not untouched with this technology.

In case of cinema hall management the main object of conducting show is to

provide a person entertainment and peace of mind. But when he comes to picture palace
and see a long queue and black marketing of tickets he escapes from hall. If the movie is
a big block buster super hit then he manage to watch it next day but when he tries to
advance booking, again the same long queue is waiting for him and his situation
discourage him to go to cinema hall.

In this situation we need a good management system to overcome this

problems and persuade rush to come to watch movie in cinema hall. Advertisement also
plays a role to move rush in to the arena and good management is the backbone of every
system.

This project is developed for conducting of sale of tickets and different

management tasks. On the first come first serve basis a person can choose his seat. He
can also advance book his seat before few days. Cancellation of tickets will also
provided.
 ABSTRACT
This software is prepared for management of any cinema hall for which per
specified set of procedural steps has to be defined in this project. Various tasks i.e. Seat
Booking Record Management, Staff Records Management, Advance Booing Reports,
various type of Queries, have to be completed in this project of ‘Cinema Hall System’.
After introducing this software customer satisfaction will surely improve. The efficiency
and arithmetical accuracy of system will increase and there will be fewer chances for
errors.

‘Cinema Hall Management’ will be developed to automate the management of any

cinema hall, so that the efficiency of the staff’s can be enhanced. The ticket selling,
maintaining the record of a movie and staff management is tedious task when it is done
manually, but when the computer does these works it becomes very much easier to
maintain things.
 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The main objective of the project will be to develop a system to enhance

efficiency, monitor and manage a Cinema Hall Ticketing, include some management and
movie information system task and solve problems like long queues and black marketing
of ticket with report creation of profit & loss and generation of graph to improve
customer services.

The project will be designed to deliver the required facilities such as customer’s
choice seat booking, changing of seat or cancellation of tickets, provide information of
advertisement & printing department, end of day gross & net profit calculation, provide
feedback about running movie.

The software will be able to manage the theater.

 Process Logic

The project will be designed to keep the concept in mind that it should be
employed at any theater. Process task that have to be performed is to manage “Selling
the tickets and entering details online and processing it to prepare report when it is
required.

But that’s only not enough to state that I have thought to perform during the
course of the project development because this project will be designed to handle other
misc. tasks of the management system like staff record management as well as attendance
report, seat arrangement as it changes in the list of its configuration task.

Basic idea behind the whole process is to create a user-friendly interface to

collect data from the clerk / staff and create report when management intentionally wants
to get information about it.

For ex. When movie is going average and management is not sure that this
movie is actually going well or not at that time they can see various report from the
system like daily sale or show wise sale and they may also get a weekly report. Again if
they think that today there is too much rush then by watching these report they can make
decision to repayment to the supplier and continue the current movie for some days /
weeks.
They processing finally depends only and only on ticketing system. That’s the decision
making corner for any report so we can say that processing ticket selling data we get
output of various reports. In the beginning of the project I assume that it’s enough to
mention only this state forward theory of process logic.
LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT

This software will requires a considerable amount of memory due to its graphical
interface to avoid inconsistency and smooth running of the software. This software will
be run only in single user mode.

The maintenance of the data file becomes very tedious as the information store in the file
grows up because I have not used any RDBMS or that type of similar packages. This
program has under

FUTURE APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT

This project will be presently for one cinema hall but it can be linked over a WAN to
connect other cinema halls with slight modification.

This project can also be spread over web to provide online to its customer for online
Ticket Booking / Advance booking, and show information.

At present I will try to fulfill all required criteria for one cinema hall with my best effort
during this certain period.
 WHY C++ USED

C++ is a language which support object oriented programming. Object oriented

programming language programs are easy to develop and easy to maintain. Today OOP
languages are playing an increasingly important role in computing science and
application. Object oriented analysis and design is an upcoming technology that software
professional have employed successfully in the development of large software project.
C++ is an extension of C- Language that is widely used on many machines. It is powerful
modern language that combines the power; elegance and flexibility of C and the feature
of object oriented programming. With it’s object oriented capability such as data
abstraction, inheritance and polymorphism, C++ offer significant software engineering
benefit over C. C++ supports both OOP & structured programming. It gives the easiest
way to handle the data hiding and encapsulation with the help of powerful keywords such
as class, private, and public and protected. Inheritance, one of most powerful design
concept is supported with single inheritance and multiple inheritances of base classes and
derived classes. Polymorphism through virtual functions, virtual base classes and virtual
distracters gives the late binding of the compiler. C++ because on function and class
templates for handling parameterized data type.
 OOPs & Benefits of using OOPs

OOP ( Object- oriented programming ) is a popular technique supported by most of

recent languages. On one hand, OOP is a programming paradigm in its own right and on
the other; it is a set of software engineering tools that can be used to build more reliable
and reusable system. Object-oriented programming as a paradigm is playing an
increasingly significant role in the analysis, design and implementation of software
systems.

FEATURES OF OBJECT-ORIENTED PARADIGM

OOP languages provide the programmer the ability to create class hierarchies,
instantiated co-operative object. Collectively working on a problem to produce the
solution and send messages between objects to process themselves. The power of object-
oriented language is that the programmer can create modular, reusable code and as a
result, formulation a program by composition and modification of the exiting modules.

(b) Abstraction Inheritance (g) Delegation
