shooting
Camera work begins
Shooting is the act of firing a gun or other projectile weapon.
A shooting is an incident where someone is shot: There was a shooting at the mall.
Shooting also names the sport of target practice or hunting with firearms.
Extended uses cover anything propelled rapidly: a shooting star, shooting pains.
In film and photography, shooting is the process of capturing images: We start shooting next week.
