An experience as a movie extra (please, help me to correct mistakes) Good day! Do you know a soviet cartoon about the difficulties of a making movie, which called “Film, Film, Film”? If you don't I recommend watching it. For the first time I saw this one as a child, although its adult cartoon (made by Soyuzmultfilm in 1968). You will get a lot of positive emotions and fun while watching it, because this cartoon has good humor and ironic. And now I want to tell you one short story about my experience as a movie extra. It was only two times, but both has been fun. The first one was a few years ago and it was hard for me, because I spent most of my time doing nothing. Sometimes I and other movie extras should have jumped and screamed on camera about five minute, and then we were doing nothing during hours again... But on the plus side, we had a lot of free time to talk with a film crew and follow a process of the movie making. And I think the hardest aspect of this is doing nothing during of the long time. Meanwhile, a day of filming may last more then 24 hours. But I'm lucky and it continued for about 12hours. The second time happened in past year and I truly liked it! One of the reasons why it was superb for me is because it was a movie about the fifties of the past century, you know, all that retro style... Second reason is because I was with my dancing friends, and we spent really fantastic time. We should have dance my lovely Lindy hop and have fun during our action scene. Of course, we were doing nothing for hours the same as the last time, but this time I liked scenery and that all our dancers had professional makeup and special clothes for this movie. Our day of this filming lasted for about 14 hours. It was great and fantastic hours of my life. By the way, I made some money as a movie extra. :)

- You write very well. Just a couple points. 1) try never to use a comma ( , ) before the word "because". 2) Your use of "should have" is incorrect. I'm not sure exactly what your idea is but I edited the two sentences to the past tense.

What you wrote -> Sometimes I and other movie extras should have jumped and screamed on camera about five minute.
Correct -> Sometimes I and other movie extras jumped and screamed on camera about five minutes.
Another way to say it -> Sometimes I and other movie extras had to jump and scream on camera about five minutes.
