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 ?"
