German term or phrase: Umsetzung (here)
"f) Soweit es für die ***Umsetzung*** einzelner dramaturgischer Tierszenen erforderlich ist, werden dem Produzenten darüber hinaus sowohl die jeweils zuständigen Pfleger als auch ein Tierarzt zur Verfügung gestellt. Hierzu wird noch eine gesonderte Vereinbarung mit dem Motivgeber / Tierbetreuer getroffen."

From a film location contract. None of the usual dictionary translations for Umsetzung seem to work here, and I'm wondering if they simply mean "filming". TIA for your help.

umsetzen can mean \'translation\'(Dictionary of Radio and TV Terms), in the sense that an idea is translated into a dialogue or scene.

Thanks Johanna - and all the peer graders. I'll use "shoot", then. Don't particularly like realisation or translation. Shoot sounds more natural; I just wanted to be sure that this is what they were getting at. Thanks again - appreciate everyone's input.
