Passage 1

When you sit in your local cinema enjoying

the film that is flashing on the screen in front of

you, do you ever think of how films are made ?

Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people may

have spent a year or even longer, working very

hard to produce a film which lasts just an hour or

two. Film-making is nowadays a very big and

complicated industry, involving large sums of

money and occupying many hundreds of skilled

technicians as well as actors and actresses. What

happens when a film company decides to shoot a

film ?

BEG-005 1 P.T.O.

There must, of course, be a story. This may

be based on a novel or a play, or it may be

specially written for the film. From the story,

whatever it is, a shooting script has to be

prepared, which shows all the scenes, the order

in which they are to be photographed or shot, the

way the actors are to speak and move, the

position of the cameras for each scene, and so on.

Then the producer and director are appointed.

The producer engages the actors and actresses,

decides which scenes are to be taken in the

studio and which outside or on location', and

makes all the preliminary preparations. The

director is the person who tells the actors what to

do, and shows them how to enact each scene. It is

his/her job to interpret the script and translate

the author's words and instructions into a series

of living scenes.

Passage 2

He came out of a stormy February night.

Two large eyes glared at me through the

darkness of my rain-drenched cabin window and

in the gleam of lightning, I saw a large brown

body and huge jaws. I feared it was a mountain

lion.

I had gone to British Columbia, on the

Pacific coast of Canada, to write a novel. For

seven months, I had lived all alone in my wooden

cabin. Scared, I slowly backed into the kitchen

for my torch and axe. Keeping away from the

window, I shone the torch — to find myself facing

a large black and brown dog, his tail wagging

wildly.

I opened the door slightly and he rushed

into the room, bringing pools of water, going

half-mad with delight. In spite of his big head, he

was very thin. The bones showed through his

coat. But the look in his eyes said more clearly

than any words : "Please, may I have something

to eat ?"
