Finish filming
Answer:
WRAP
Hint:
Think of what a director might shout when a scene is complete—it’s also a verb meaning to cover something tightly.
Explanation:
"Finish filming" is a classic example of a double-meaning clue. In movie production, "wrap" is the command given when filming is complete, signaling the end of a shoot. The word also literally means to cover or finish something, which ties back to the idea of completing a task. It’s a straightforward but clever play on industry jargon.
