They work out their movements before the scene is filmed and they mime th
5、e fights. Cameras are placed at an angle so that you cant tell that the stuntmen are only pretending to hit each other. Sound effects help to make the scene seem real. Did you know that someone stands near a microphone and punches a leg of lamb or a cabbage? This sounds just as if someone is being p
6、unched.,Real bullets arent used in films. Generally, sound effects are all that is needed to make the shooting seem real. The actors, of course, must act as if they had been shot. Stuntmen are used if someone has to fall off a horse or tumble down a staircase in the scene. However, if bullet holes m
7、ust appear in a door or wall, for example, it is more complicated. Before the scene is filmed, small holes have to be drilled where the bullets are to hit. Tiny explosives are placed inside the holes. Then the holes are covered up. At the right moment when an actor pulls a trigger- someone sets off
8、the explosives. The drilled holes suddenly appear again. On film they will look exactly like bullet holes.,Air rifles(气枪） are sometimes loaded with “blood” pellets. When a pellet hits an actor, the red coloring makes him look as if he is wounded. If a bullet is supposed to go through a glass door or
9、 window, a pellet with jelly inside is used. When the jelly hits the glass, the glass looks as if it is broken. By the way, when you see actors crashing through doors or windows, they wont be hurt at all. The “glass” is very often just a thin sheet of toffee!,Other stunts with explosives are more da
10、ngerous. For example, dynamite is still used in war films for bombing scenes: In these scenes dynamite is placed in the ground. This is much safer of course than dropping real bombs. But people can still get hurt. Tricks are used too. One of them is to hide a trampoline below ground level. When an e
11、xplosion is filmed, the stuntman jumps on the trampoline and bounces up into the air. In the film it will look as if he has been thrown backwards by the explosion.,High falls and high dives are very risky. Some stuntmen dive from forty, even fifty meters. They tie their legs together so that they wi
12、ll not break when they hit the water. When stuntmen fall to the ground, they land on specially prepared material. They usually fall with their arms and legs stretched out and they land on their backs. Some stuntmen have fallen from as high as thirty meters.,TEXT How Do the Movies Do It?,Outline:. In
