syuting

Syuting is a term used in Indonesian and Malay-speaking media industries to refer to the filming or recording of video and audio for film, television, commercials, or online content. It is derived from the English word shooting and has become a common loanword in everyday speech, used as a noun or verb (for example, 'syuting sedang berlangsung' or 'menyusun jadwal syuting').

In practice, syuting involves planning, location scouting, script breakdown, blocking, and the execution of takes on set. On a shoot, the crew typically includes a director, cinematographer, camera operators, sound recordist, lighting technicians, makeup and wardrobe, and production assistants. Equipment may include cameras, lenses, tripods or stabilizers, lighting, sound gear, and sometimes drones or special effects rigs. The process is guided by a shooting schedule or jadwal syuting and daily call sheets to coordinate timing and resources.

Safety, permits, and permissions are important, particularly for on-location shoots. Compliance with local regulations, insurance, and coordination with talent unions or guilds may be required in some contexts.

Variants and regional usage: In formal Malay contexts, synonyms such as penggambaran or pengambilan gambar are common, while syuting remains widely understood in casual or industry speech.
