Zookeepers areresponsible for cleaningthe enclosures, preparingthe animal’s food andkeeping an eye out forany illnesses or injuries.

The zookeeper feeds theleopards raw meat once a day.Animals like these are alwaysdangerous, so keepers never

go into theenclosure withthem.

Building siteA building site is a very noisy place! Engines rumble,saws whirr and drills whine. Lorries arrive with theirloads of girders, bricks and concrete slabs. A concretemixer churns concrete into thepump. From there, it pours intothe foundation pit. Men shoutinstructions to one another as the

crane hoists girders up to theupper floors of the new

building.

Spreadingconcrete

A dumper truck carries rubble awayfrom the site. It is a massive vehicle withgiant wheels. To empty its load, theback tips up and the rear gate opens.

When the wallsof a building arecompleted theplasterer getsto work. He addswater to theplaster powder tomake a dough-likemixture. Then hespreads it on thewall. It dries to asmooth, hard finish.

Every building site must haveone of these! This is a portabletoilet. The builders are on sitefor only a few months, so apermanent one is not needed.

A tractor is a powerful vehiclethat can pull a plough or otherfarm machinery. Its huge reartyres make it easier for thetractor to move in muddy fields.

The horses on a farm must becleaned and groomed regularly.The stable hands brush them andgive them water. The horse’s tailswats away any pesky insects!

A milking machine is used tomilk the cows. Only one farmworker is needed to operatethe machine. It is muchquicker than milking by hand.

Ploughing and harrowing prepares thesoil for the new crop. A plough turnsover the top layer of soil. This bringsnutrients to the surface. A harrow tillsthe soil ready for planting.

Cranes are useful for when thedirector wants to have a camerashot from above, or at aparticular angle that would notbe possible from the ground.

The most important actors havetheir own dressing rooms.Hairdressers, costume-fitters andmake-up artists all help them to lookright for their parts.

The director is in charge ofthe making of the film.He or she will supervisethe filming of every scene,instructing the actors onhow to play their roles.

Costumes are important in filmsthat are set in the past. Designerstake care to make sure the clothesare in the right style for the period.

Stage properties, or “props” forshort, include hand-held objectsand furniture used in shootingthe film. The scenery—in thiscase, the model of the ship—and the propstogethermake upthe filmset.

Away from the action, filmeditors work on scenes that havealready been filmed. They selectand join portions of film togetherto create the final work.

Film studioMany films are made in studios.Instead of filming a real ship atsea, which is very difficult to do,a model of one is built in thestudio. This is surrounded by

cameras, lightingand sound equipment.Everywhere, there are actors,camera operators, make-upartists and sound engineers. Model of a
