Production and guess who they come from. Use the words in the box.
The _________ calls “picture is up!” to inform everyone that a take is about to be recorded, and then “quiet, everyone!” Once everyone is ready to shoot, the _________ calls “roll sound” (if the take involves sound), and the _________ will start their equipment, record a verbal slate of the take’s information, and announce “sound speed” when they are ready. The _________ follows with “roll camera”, answered by “speed!” by the _________ once the camera is recording. The _________, who is already in front of the camera with the clapperboard, calls “Marker!” and slaps it shut. If the take involves extras or background action, the _________ will cue them (“action background!”), and last is the _________, telling the actors “Action!” The AD may echo “action” louder on large sets. A take is over when the _________ calls “Cut!”, and camera and sound stop recording. Exercise 32. Make up as many word collocations as you can with the following nouns. Use the verbs from the box to help you or find your own ones.
