hi everybody and welcome back to top

words my name is Alisha and today we’re

going to talk about 10 TV related words

let’s go

to shoot to film the first expression is

to shoot or to film to shoot or to film

actually we use these words here to

shoot to shoot means to take video to

record video in a sentence this show was

shot in England hmmm to shoot becomes

shot to shoot shot in past tense we can

also use to film film comes from kind of

older cameras where film actual physical

film was used now of course we used

mostly digital media but we use to shoot

or to film video or to shoot a TV show

to talk about recording something for

use in movies or TV to broadcast to air

to broadcast or to air so this these are

words which mean to to play a TV show on

TV to air a TV show to broadcast a TV

show recently I feel like two air is

more common like this TV show airs every

week on Friday in a sentence new

episodes air every Friday we use

actually we use broadcast for our live

streams on this channel like we could

say like a live broadcast every week at

10 p.m. est that’s true so we can say

broadcast or we can say air

I feel like broadcast is a little more

natural for Internet things we don’t

really use airs every week for internet

things we use air for a TV but yeah

broadcast would be more for Internet

program anything to cast the next

expression the next vocabulary word is

to cast to cast there are a couple

different meanings of this word there’s

a fishing related word which means to

throw out like a fishing line to try to

get a fish this motion is called to cast

but if you’re reading something about

your favorite TV show and you see to

cast it means to choose someone to play

a character to choose someone to play a

character is to cast so for example and

sentence who was cast in the role of the

princess

so to cast someone as a character is in

the expression we use Jennifer Aniston

was cast as Rachel in friends or Dean

Cain was cast as Superman in the

Superman TV show from the 90s to give an

American pop culture example cast

okay the next expression however is the

noun form cast so cast as a noun not as

a verb as a noun the cast is the group

of actors and actresses who play the

characters in the TV show or the movie

you’re watching

so that’s everybody all of the actors

and actresses are called the cast

together their group is called the cast

so for example that show has an all-star

cast season series the next expression

or the next word is season or series

depending on which country you may hear

let’s see let’s see season season is

usually used in the US and series I

think is used maybe in England and being

in Australia as well so season and

series these mean like the roughly the

years of a show in a sentence how many

seasons have you seen so the kind of

like the chapters of show’s over like

maybe ten weeks or twelve weeks or so

you might watch one season of a show it

usually has like eight to ten maybe

twelve episodes we’ll talk about later

so one season is like one year of a show

episode the next expression is episode

episode so episode is one usually for a

TV show one 30-minute or one 60-minute

block of time in a sentence every

episode of that show is so good so maybe

each week one episode airs from a TV

show or two episodes air every week so

an episode is one part of a season so

for example to use these words together

we could say there are 10 episodes in

every season of my favorite TV show so

episodes are these kind of small blocks

of time small parts of you

story - run - run - run - run is a verb

that has many different meanings in

English oh we can’t talk about them all

in one video or even a million videos

but to run in this case means how long a

program is broadcast or how long a

program airs for so we would say that

show is running for six seasons it means

that show is going to be broadcast on TV

for six seasons so in another example

sentence that show ran for just three

seasons so to run a show refers to the

length of time that that TV program can

be viewed on TV maybe more example

sentences are better here so like this

show has a planned run of ten years for

we want to run this again next year for

example so that means how often you want

to broadcast to be set in the next

expression is to be set in to be set in

refers to the place where the story

happens in the TV show we can also use

this for books and for movies any

storytelling situation you can use to be

set in in this example sentence this

show is set in New York City the

expression to set in can refer to place

yes but it can also refer to the time

period of a show so for example maybe a

show is set in the past far in the past

you could say this show is set in the

Old West or this show is set in ancient

China this show is set in England in the

1600s so that’s the location and the

time when the TV show is set so place

and location we can use to be set in to

recur the next word is to recur to recur

so to require means to happen again

something that that continues something

that repeats to recur so we use this for

characters and themes in particular in

TV shows so we might see a recurring

character that character is a recurring

character in this series they repeat

they appear again and again

from time to time not as a regular

character but they appear sometimes like

supporting characters in a sentence

Joker is a recurring villain in the

Batman series he shows up from time to

time

he’s a recurring character a recurring

villain in this case script the next

word is script script script is the text

for the show trips a script is the the

text that the actors and actresses read

to tell you the story it’s the stuff

that the writers create and yeah actors

will read that those are the words for

the show the script so in a sentence the

script of this show is really well

written

fun fact there is no script for this

show unscripted really there’s no script

sometimes people are like if they’re

surprised to find out there’s no script

for this some people like you’re not

reading anything I’m like no of course

not do you think that I was reading all

that it’s always so clear to me like the

episodes that come out and where I have

had to read something like for the post

card contest for example there’s this

it’s just everything just slows down and

it’s so like the vibe is so weird anyway

no script for this show that’s the end

so those are ten TV related words and

you can use some of these words with

movies and other stories as well if you
