Conversation - Movies are hard work!

Part A - Listen and practice!

• Working on movies must be really exciting.

• Oh, yeah, but it’s also very hard work. A one minute scene in a film can take days to shoot.

• Really? Why is that?

• Well, a scene isn’t filmed just once. Lots of different shots have to be taken. Only the best ones are used in the final film.

• So, how many times does a typical scene need to be shot?

• It depends, but sometimes as many as 20 times. One scene may be shot from five or six different angles.

• Wow! I didn’t realize that.

• Why don’t you come visit the studio? I can show you how things are done.

• Great, I’d love to!
