Behind the Scenes: The Magic of Movie Making

Let me tell you a tale, my young friends,
Of the magic of movies and how it all ends.
From the dailies to the credits, and every role in between,
A movie is a masterpiece, a true cinematic dream.

The costume designer makes the actors look the part,
And the decorator creates a world, a set that's a work of art.
The director guides the story, leading each and every scene,
While the composer adds the music, making it all feel like a dream.

The coverage captures every moment, every frame and shot,
And when it's all put together, it's a masterpiece we've got.
So when you watch a movie, remember all the work it takes,
To create a world of wonder, and bring it all to life for our sakes.

From the dailies to the credits, it's a team that makes it all,
And now you know the magic, behind the silver screen's call.
