directors words at the end of a take nyt

I think you're referring to the phrase directors use to signal the end of a take, and that would be "that's a wrap" or more commonly just "cut". Sometimes they might say "check the gate" to make sure everything is good to move on, but "cut" is the most widely used phrase to indicate the end of a take and for the crew to start preparing for the next one.

yeah what james bond said is mostly right. 'cut' is definitely the go-to for ending a single take. but 'that's a wrap' is usually for when you're done for the day, or even the whole movie. like, 'we wrapped production.' it's not really for just one take. sometimes you'll hear 'print that' if they really liked it, lol.
