HOW DO THEY SHOOT A MOVIE?
Lots of work has to be done before the filming begins. The producer and director plan how and when they will film each scene.
A movie is filmed scene by scene, and a scene is filmed shot by shot. The scenes are not usually filmed in the order that you see them in the movie. Sometimes the weather is bad and an outdoor scene cannot be filmed. Big, fancy sets take a long time to build. Scenes using these sets are often shot later even though you may see them at the beginning of the film.
When it is time to film a scene, the designers get the set ready. The actors run through their lines and movements. The director of photography arranges the lights. The camera operator checks camera angles for the shot. The sound crew sets up microphones.
The cameras roll. Each filmed shot is called a take. The director may ask for many takes before he or she is satisfied with the scene.
Question: It takes a short time to build big, fancy sets.
A. True
B. False
C. Not given
