6) Blocking: A process of placing the actors on set where they will move and stand, so that lighting and camera placements may be set. 7) Blooper: A take of a scene not used in a movie, usually because of an on-camera mistake made by the cast or crew. 8) Body double aka Photo double: Body doubles are used to for shot requiring nudity or physical fitness. In such situation actor is replaced by a person who is up for nudity or suitable for particular scene. 10) Boom Operator: Member of the sound crew who operates the boom microphone. 11) Bounce Board: A large white card made of foam or poster board used to reflect soft light and for the soft key and fill. 12) Breakdown the script aka Breakdown: A detailed list of all items, people, props, equipment, etc required for a shoot on a day-by-day basis.
