B5S4 - Listening 2

Chelsea: Hi! My name is Chelsea Lewis, nice to meet you. I’m one of the director’s assistants.

Natalie: Hello, Chelsea! I'm Natalie Portman. Taika told me to come to the studio to check some details about my role in the movie.

Chelsea: Of course! The director is in the Art Department right now. Meanwhile, I can give you a tour through the set. Would you like to come with me?

Natalie: Sure! Let's go see it.

Chelsea: Excuse me, I heard that you studied psychology some years ago. Did that help you with your acting jobs?

Natalie: Well, if I hadn’t finished my psychology major, I wouldn’t have gotten some of my movie roles. Psychology and acting are my two passions.

Chelsea: That’s fascinating! If I had studied acting, I could have worked with great actors like you. Well, this is the Lighting Department. Here we have lights, routers, and some tripods.

Natalie: I see. What is this? These devices look interesting.

Chelsea: Those belong to the post-production area. They're used after filming to add special effects to the movies.

Natalie: Wow! So all the magic of editing happens here, doesn’t it?

Chelsea: Yes; some elements of this department are speakers, headphones, video editing desks, and color grading panels. If I finish my special effects course, I might work in this area.

Natalie: That would be an excellent idea to have better job opportunities. Oh, look! Are these clothes and accessories part of the movie?

Chelsea: Exactly, they're going to be taken to the Costume Design Department. Those are Thor and Jane’s costumes. Your co-star, Chris Hemsworth, was here yesterday to try them on.

Natalie: I have an appointment for that tomorrow, but I would do it today if you have enough time. I know everyone is working so hard.

Chelsea: Of course. Let me check the schedules for today. Please, come with me; the director is next door.

Natalie: Thank you! Let’s go.
