Lily and Alex were excited as they arrived at the movie studio to see how films were made. They had always loved watching movies, and now they would get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of What ends with you and me.
As they walked through the studio, Lily pointed to a large set(布景). "Look at that! It's where they filmed the flower shop scenes!" she exclaimed. Alex nodded, "I can't believe it's all just a set. It looks so real!"
They met a friendly crew member who explained how the film was shot. "We use different cameras and lights to create the right mood," he said. "For example, we use bright lights for happy scenes and dimmer lights for sad moments."
"Wow, I didn't know that!" Lily replied, her eyes wide with amazement. "How do you get the actors to act so well?"
The crew member smiled. "The actors practise a lot. They read the script (剧本) many times and work with the director to understand their characters. For this movie, Belinda Lee plays Penny, and she really connects with the role."
Alex asked, "What about the special effects? Are they real?"
"Some are real, but many are added later using computers," the crew member explained. "It' s called CGI. It helps create things that aren't possible in real life."
As their tour ended, Lily turned to Alex and said, "This was amazing! I want to learn more about filmmaking."
"Me too! Maybe one day we can make our own movie," Alex replied with a grin. They left the studio inspired and dreaming of their future in film.
