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.
1. Few work has to be done before they begin filming.
2. The actors plan how and when they will film each scene.
3. Lots of scenes are filmed in a movie.
