A at the lecture about the film industry, Yu
Peng is given a handout. Read the handout
with him.
What you see Not all films are made in real
places. When they are, they are shot on location,
which means that real streets, trees and
buildings are used. However, this can be
difficult and expensive so many films are made
in buildings called sound stages. If this is the
case, a backdrop (a view of the sky or a city
street) may be carefully painted and hung behind
the actors. Backdrops are so good that you often
think you are looking at a real place.

• There are also many important words that refer to
  the camera. When the entire screen is full with
  one image, like someones face, this is called a
  close-up shot. When the camera moves back and the
  screen shows a picture from far away, this is
  called a wide-angle shot. Wide-angle shots are
  used to show things such as mountains and a river
  or a city with many streets and buildings.
• At the end of a film, the credits appear. They
  include a list of people who worked on the film
  and the list of songs you heard in the film, as
  well as other things.

• What you hear
• The music, which plays in the background while
  you watch a film, is called the film score. The
  sounds like raindrops, a doorbell or footsteps in
  a corridor are called sound effects.
• Sometimes, when a film is popular in many
  countries, people want to hear the dialogue in
  their own language. In this case, new actors are
  hired to read the dialogue and it is recorded
  over the original talking. This is called dubbing
  and people describe these kinds of films as
  dubbed.
