SUBIECTE:

I. Read the article about a career in film and then answer the questions. Are the sentences ‘Right’ or
‘Wrong’? If there is not enough information to answer ‘Right’ or ‘Wrong’, choose ‘Doesn’t say’ (20 points)

WOULD YOU LIKE A CAREER IN FILM?

Lana Carter has not worked in film for many years but she has already helped make several movies and worked
with a few famous film stars.

Lana’s job is to work the lights and the camera during filming. Sometimes, she also helps decide where movies are
made. She has worked on all kinds of full length movies and a variety of advertisements and music videos. She
thinks making music videos is the easiest because they don’t have to look or feel real. She says that working on
movies is more difficult because lighting mistakes can make the whole thing look wrong.

Lana decided she would like to work in film when she was 16. Her friends and family laughed at the idea, but she
found out about courses and did a university course in Film and Video. She says, ‘You shouldn’t worry about
making mistakes at university. Try new ideas and don’t just do the same as everyone else.’ She thinks that people
who want a career like hers should choose a course that lets them do as much filming as possible. ‘Courses that just
ask students to do a lot of writing are not useful to anybody.’
