filming
[ˈfɪlmɪŋ]
Filming refers to capturing images or footage using a camera, especially for movies, TV shows, or commercials.
When people say they're filming something, it usually means they're recording scenes for a movie or TV show. This can happen on a set with actors and crew members, or in real-life locations like cities or forests. Filming can take place indoors or outdoors, depending on what the story requires. Sometimes, filmmakers will film a lot of footage in one day, then edit it together later to create the final product.
