and reacted, filmed and refilmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted
twenty or thirty times.
The film studio is like a large factory and the indoor stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all
kinds is made in the studio; churches, castles and forests are all built of wood and cupboard.
