clapper board

It's a tool used in filming movies or dramas. It's the black board that's clapped while shouting "Action!" at the start of a scene.

Important information such as the movie title, scene number, and filming date is written on the clapperboard. It's an essential tool for synchronizing sound and video later.

Used since the silent film era of the 1920s, the clapperboard has become a symbol of filmmaking. It still plays an important role even in the digital age.

In modern times, digital clapperboards have emerged, automatically recording and synchronizing timecode and shooting data. With the global popularity of K-dramas and movies, advanced equipment is being utilized in Korean production sites as well.
