Ля люди добрые Соч позязя Task 4 Read the text and write if the following statements are true (T) or false (F) or doesn’t say (DS): STUNTMEN
A stuntman is a man or a woman who works on the television or movie production industry. A stuntman is paid to do dangerous actions called “stunts” in movies or television shows. Dangerous actions include jumping from a height, falling down, being in a car crash, or pretending to fight with weapons such as swords or knives. It would be too dangerous for a regular actor to do these dangerous actions, so stuntmen are hired to do these dangerous actions by the movie or television producers.
It is dangerous to work as a stuntman. Sometimes stuntmen are hurt during the stunts they are filming. In some recent cases, stuntmen were killed doing dangerous actions in movies, such as falling from a height. To become a stuntman, some people go to a stuntman school, especially in California and Florida. Most people don’t go to school to become stuntmen, though. The skills are taught by other more experienced stuntmen.
Action movies, war movies, martial arts movies, and crime television shows use many stuntmen to do dangerous actions depicted in the movies or shows. Jackie Chan and the Blue Angels are examples of stuntmen. Another job for men and women in the television or movie production industry where people replace the actors is the job of body double (двойник, дублёр). When a film has a scene with a love scene or a nudity (нагота) scene that the actor doesn’t want to do, the movie or television director may hire a man or a woman to be a body double. The man or woman pretends to be the actor for a short period and the love scene or nudity scene is filmed. In addition, it can be hard for stuntmen to get steady (постоянную) work, because stuntmen are hired to do movies or television shows. These pictures are filmed all over the world. This means that stuntmen may have to travel to many different regions or countries to get work. For people who like to travel, this may an advantage. However, it can also make it hard to see friends and relatives, if you are away from home a lot.
