Shooting gallery Explanation: Just an idea, though more context would help. If the studio is the champs de tir/shooting gallery, then using the word "shooting" relates to a film "shoot" as (in a different context) the reference below. "Why are the cinemas showing rubbish? | Film | The GuardianThe most interesting innovation in America is the Shooting Gallery film series, which twice a year takes a package of six films out for two-week runs in ..." www.guardian.co.uk/film/2001/may/15/artsfeatures - |

3 hrs confidence:
shooting angles (support for, NFG) Explanation: The angle from the subject being filmed and the camera at a given location is the shooting angle. Of course there may be several "shooting angles" for a given scene, let's say over the range (champ) 45° to 95°. All the "shooting angles" in that range would constitute the "champ de tir". If the director would really really really like to have shots from 30° and 145° as well, but is blocked by walls, trees, etc., then he has a problem. In English I feel we would not address the problem globally as one of the "champ de tir" but as a series of individual "shooting angle" problems. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2008-08-03 13:50:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The expression being used figuratively and/or modelled on the English use of "shoot" for "tourner", of course. |

7 hrs confidence:
depth of field/shooting frame Explanation: i am wondering if this refers to depth of field, the in focus depth of the shooting frame. another option is shooting frame, which refers to what is in the frame. i am tempted to look for my cinema dictionary:) Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field |

peer agreement (net): +2| champs de tir unlikely Explanation: It would be really helpful if you gave us some more context to go on! I feel it is unlikely; I haven't personally come across 'tir' used for 'shooting' in the filming context... If it is intended (perhaps even humorously?) to be film 'shooting' (maybe in the same way as 'firing line' etc.), then I would say that the 'champ' would be more likely 'field' (as in field of view, etc.) — this term is commonly used with this sort of meaning in photographic and similar imaging contexts. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2008-08-03 11:11:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Since you mention problems with the 'champs de tir', I wonder if they were trying to film with sync sound? In that case, it could simply be that the adjacent shooting range produced noise that interfered with their recordings — gunshots can carry a long way, and being percussive in nature, are more of a problem than some more continuous sounds. Could this be it? You should be able to tell from the rest of your context — at least, if they might have been doing any sound recording? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 days (2008-08-18 06:10:32 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Right, so the article kindly found by Emma is in fact referring to the same studio complex. |
