The film consists of three major parts that make up the movies overall story. We first start out witnessing everyone arriving on scene at 4am to get ready for that days shoot. At this point, the film is in black and white and as soon as they start filming the movie is suddenly in color. This illustrates what is real and what is not to the viewer. Problems start to occur which include the boom microphone showing up in the frame, cameras going out of focus, a

nd lights bulbs exploding. With all these distractions, the actors start to forget lines and not act as convincingly as they should. Then, the actress playing the mother strokes the star actress’s hair and this reminds her of her actual mother which invokes a rush of emotion. While the crew is taking a break, the director has the actors run through their lines. With the sudden rush of emotion, the scene plays out exactly as the director wants and no one is filming! After Nick realizes this, he freaks out at everyone and makes himself look like a real jerk. He then awakens in his own bed to realize it was all a dream.

The final portion of the movie starts with Nicole on set dressed in a wedding gown. They are about to start shooting the dream sequence for the actual movie but have to wait as the crew tries to figure out the smoke machine. They can only get it to leak out small bits of smoke and this is not enough for the scene. As this is happening, Wolf and the script girl break up their relationship and Wolf is upset about her decision. The filming begins and Wolf is not happy with how the shot is setup. Nick and Wolf argue and then they go and talk about things in private. Wolf explains he is upset with Wanda dumping him and this is why he is on edge. While they talk, the crew adds a 3:1 gas and oil mixture to the smoke machine to increase its output. Everyone is now back on set and filming resumes. This time the smoke machine is out of control and there is so much smoke you cannot even see the actors. Nick yells cut and suddenly his mother shows up to add to the confusion. Nick realizes that she must of left her nursing
