Do you think making a movie is an easy job? Discuss with reference to the story.

Answer

No, making a movie isn't an easy job. It requires great ideas, plannings, visualisation, script etc. A movie is made by the efforts many people. A director, production team, actors, producers have to work harder in order to produce the desired shot. Several retakes, equipments, shooting at different locations take a lot of time that makes it a long process. In this story, the director refuses to allow the actors to rehearse before the shoot as he wanted to shoot the scene in the bright sunny day but it seemed like the clouds were approaching.
