I happen to see a film shooting

I was returning from work when I saw a gathering of people. It was in the campus of a stadium. To my curiosity, I went close to see what really it was. There was a troupe of dancers and I could also see cranes, cameras, lights and many other equipments. It looked like they were shooting a song sequence. It again increased my zeal and made myself comfortable on a pavement. After several trials, they started the shooting. There were several shoutings like, “READY”, “CAMERA”, “CUT” and several others (must be jargoans of film shooting). I asked someone in the crew if I could take pics from a far distance. He granted the freedom as long as if it doesn’t disturb their work. I took a few pics but I was too tired and headed for home.

I could now realise that making a film is not that easy as everyone thinks. Even for a small take, they make several repeats which even made a simple spectator like me exhaust up my patience.
