•What you hear
• The music, which plays in the background while you watch a film, is called the film score. The sounds like raindrops, a doorbell or footsteps in a corridor are called sound effects.
Not all films are made in ‘real’ places. When they are, they are shot on location, which means that real streets, trees and buildings are used. However, this can be difficult and expensive; so many films are made in buildings called sound stages. If this is the case, a backdrop (a view of the sky or a city street) may be carefully painted and hung behind the actors. Backdrops are so good that you often think you are looking at a real place.
