When you're talking about recording a video, the verb you want is filmen. It's pretty straightforward, like the English "to film."
You can use it for anything from filming a movie to just taking a quick video on your phone. For example, if you want to say, "I am filming a video," you'd say, "Ich filme ein Video."
It's an A2 verb, so it's quite common and useful in everyday conversation.
§ What 'filmen' means
- Definition
- to film, to record a video
The German verb 'filmen' is pretty straightforward. It means exactly what it sounds like: 'to film' or 'to record a video'. Just like in English, you use it when you're talking about capturing moving images with a camera, whether it's a professional film crew, someone with their smartphone, or even a security camera.
You'll often hear 'filmen' in everyday conversations, especially with the rise of smartphones and social media. Everyone is a filmmaker these days, right? So, if you're talking about recording a concert, a family event, or even just a funny moment, 'filmen' is the verb you'll use.
§ When to use 'filmen'
Here are some common situations where 'filmen' comes in handy:
- When you're literally filming something with a camera.
- When you're talking about movies or documentaries being made.
- When someone is recording something on their phone.
Let's look at some examples to make this clearer.
Wir wollen den Sonnenuntergang filmen.
Here, 'Wir wollen den Sonnenuntergang filmen' means 'We want to film the sunset.' Simple, direct, and easy to understand.
Die Polizei hat den Unfall gefilmt.
This translates to 'The police filmed the accident.' Notice how the past participle 'gefilmt' is formed. We'll get to that in a bit.
Kannst du das Konzert mit deinem Handy filmen?
This means 'Can you film the concert with your phone?' A very common phrase you might hear or use yourself.
The verb 'filmen' is a regular (weak) verb, which makes its conjugations quite predictable. This is good news for you, as it means you won't encounter too many surprises when you start using it in different tenses. For now, just focus on understanding its core meaning and when to apply it.
It's also worth noting that 'filmen' can be used transitively, meaning it takes a direct object. You film something. In our examples, 'den Sonnenuntergang' (the sunset), 'den Unfall' (the accident), and 'das Konzert' (the concert) are all direct objects. This is a common grammatical structure you'll see with 'filmen'.
In summary, 'filmen' is a useful and frequently used verb in German. When you want to talk about recording video, this is your go-to word. Keep practicing with examples, and you'll master it in no time.
§ German Word: filmen

The German verb "filmen" directly translates to "to film" or "to record a video" in English. It's a regular verb, which means its conjugations follow a predictable pattern. This makes it relatively easy to learn and use in various tenses.
§ Basic Conjugation of 'filmen'
Let's look at the present tense (Präsens) conjugation:
- ich filme (I film)
- du filmst (you film - informal singular)
- er/sie/es filmt (he/she/it films)
- wir filmen (we film)
- ihr filmt (you film - informal plural)
- sie/Sie filmen (they/you film - formal)
§ Using 'filmen' in Sentences
You can use "filmen" to talk about filming anything, from movies to personal videos. It generally takes a direct object, which is the thing being filmed.
Ich filme einen Kurzfilm. (I am filming a short film.)
Wir filmen unsere Reise. (We are filming our trip.)
When referring to filming something specific, you often use the accusative case for the object.
- Grammar Note
- The direct object of "filmen" will be in the accusative case. Remember the articles: den (masculine), die (feminine), das (neuter), die (plural).
Er filmt die Hochzeit. (He is filming the wedding.)
Sie filmen das Konzert. (They are filming the concert.)
§ 'Filmen' with Prepositions
While "filmen" often doesn't require a preposition when taking a direct object, you might use prepositions to add more context, such as where or for whom something is being filmed.
- für (for): To indicate the beneficiary.
- mit (with): To indicate the tool or companion.
Ich filme das Video für meinen Freund. (I am filming the video for my friend.)
Er filmt mit seinem neuen Handy. (He is filming with his new phone.)
§ Past Tense of 'filmen'
The most common past tense for "filmen" in spoken German is the Perfekt, which uses a form of "haben" (to have) as an auxiliary verb and the past participle "gefilmt."
Ich habe den Film gefilmt. (I filmed the movie.)
Hast du das Event gefilmt? (Did you film the event?)
For written German or more formal contexts, you might encounter the Präteritum (simple past):
- ich filmte (I filmed)
- du filmtest (you filmed)
- er/sie/es filmte (he/she/it filmed)
- wir filmten (we filmed)
- ihr filmtet (you filmed)
- sie/Sie filmten (they/you filmed)
However, for everyday conversation, the Perfekt is your go-to.
§ Related Vocabulary
While learning "filmen," it's useful to know some related words:
- der Film (the film/movie)
- die Kamera (the camera)
- der Videoclip (the video clip)
- der Regisseur/die Regisseurin (the director)
Er dreht einen neuen Film. (He is shooting a new film.)
Sie hat eine neue Kamera gekauft. (She bought a new camera.)
By understanding the conjugation, common sentence structures, and related vocabulary, you'll be able to confidently use "filmen" in your German conversations and writing. Keep practicing!
§ Don't confuse "filmen" with "aufnehmen"
Many learners, especially those new to German, might be tempted to use "aufnehmen" for all kinds of recording, including filming a video. While "aufnehmen" can mean "to record," it's a much broader term. It can refer to recording audio, taking a photo, or even recording data. When you specifically mean to film something with a camera for a video, "filmen" is the correct and more precise word to use.
Ich möchte den Sonnenuntergang filmen.
- Hint
- I want to film the sunset.
Er hat ein Lied aufgenommen.
- Hint
- He recorded a song (audio).
§ Using "machen" instead of "filmen"
Another common mistake is to use the general verb "machen" (to make, to do) when you specifically mean "to film." While you can say "einen Film machen" (to make a film), this implies the entire process of production, including directing, editing, etc. If you are just talking about the act of operating a camera to capture moving images, "filmen" is the word you need.
Wir haben die Hochzeit gefilmt.
- Hint
- We filmed the wedding.
Using "machen" here would sound a bit off, like you were involved in the entire production of a wedding movie, not just the filming part.
§ Incorrect tense or conjugation
Like all German verbs, "filmen" needs to be conjugated correctly according to the tense and subject. Pay attention to its regular conjugation patterns. It's a regular verb, which makes it easier, but mistakes can still happen.
- **Present Tense:** Ich filme, du filmst, er/sie/es filmt, wir filmen, ihr filmt, sie/Sie filmen.
- **Past Tense (Präteritum):** Ich filmte, du filmtest, er/sie/es filmte, wir filmten, ihr filmtet, sie/Sie filmten.
- **Perfect Tense (Perfekt):** Ich habe gefilmt, du hast gefilmt, er/sie/es hat gefilmt, wir haben gefilmt, ihr habt gefilmt, sie/Sie haben gefilmt.
Gestern haben wir den ganzen Tag gefilmt.
- Hint
- Yesterday we filmed all day.
§ Forgetting the infinitive in modal verb constructions
When using modal verbs (like "können," "wollen," "müssen," "dürfen"), the main verb "filmen" goes to the end of the sentence in its infinitive form.
Kannst du das bitte filmen?
- Hint
- Can you film that please?
A common error is to conjugate "filmen" or place it incorrectly when a modal verb is present. Always keep the infinitive at the end.
§ Overlooking direct objects
"Filmen" often takes a direct object in the accusative case. This means you are filming *something*. Don't forget to include the correct article or pronoun for that direct object.
Sie filmen einen Film.
- Hint
- They are filming a movie.
Here, "einen Film" is the direct object in the accusative case. Make sure to choose the correct article (ein/eine/einen/eines) based on the gender and case of the noun.

ヒント
Basic use of 'filmen'
The verb 'filmen' is straightforward. You can use it just like 'to film' in English. For example, 'Ich filme einen Film.' (I am filming a movie.)
Conjugation of 'filmen' (Present Tense)
Like many German verbs, 'filmen' is regular. Here’s the present tense: ich filme, du filmst, er/sie/es filmt, wir filmen, ihr filmt, sie/Sie filmen.
Past Tense (Perfekt) with 'haben'
To talk about filming in the past, you'll use 'haben' as the auxiliary verb. The past participle is 'gefilmt'. So, 'Ich habe einen Film gefilmt.' (I have filmed a movie.)
Using 'filmen' with direct objects
'Filmen' usually takes a direct object in the accusative case. For example, 'Wir filmen das Konzert.' (We are filming the concert.) 'Das Konzert' is the direct object.
Don't confuse with 'drehen'
While 'filmen' means 'to film', sometimes you'll hear 'drehen' (literally 'to turn') in the context of filmmaking, especially for producing a film. But for the act of recording, 'filmen' is your go-to word. 'Einen Film drehen' (to shoot/make a film) vs. 'einen Film filmen' (to film a film).
Related Noun: der Film
The noun 'der Film' (the film/movie) is closely related and easy to remember. Just like in English, it's a very common word. 'Wir sehen einen Film.' (We are watching a film.)
Who is doing the filming?
You can describe the person filming: 'Der Kameramann filmt die Szene.' (The cameraman films the scene.) 'Der Kameramann' means 'the cameraman'.

You can easily add location: 'Sie filmen im Park.' (They are filming in the park.) The preposition 'im' is a contraction of 'in dem'.
What are they filming?
Beyond movies, you can film various things. 'Er filmt seine Kinder.' (He is filming his children.) or 'Ich filme die Hochzeit.' (I am filming the wedding.)
Passive Voice with 'filmen'
For a more advanced usage, you can form the passive voice: 'Der Film wird gefilmt.' (The film is being filmed.) This uses a form of 'werden' (to become) plus the past participle.
よくある質問
10 問Here's the conjugation of filmen in the present tense (Präsens):
- ich filme (I film)
- du filmst (you film - informal singular)
- er/sie/es filmt (he/she/it films)
- wir filmen (we film)
- ihr filmt (you film - informal plural)
- sie/Sie filmen (they film / you film - formal)
The simple past (Präteritum) of filmen is filmte. For example, 'Ich filmte den Sonnenuntergang' (I filmed the sunset). However, Germans often use the present perfect (Perfekt) for past actions in spoken language. The present perfect is formed with 'haben' and the past participle 'gefilmt': 'Ich habe den Sonnenuntergang gefilmt.' (I have filmed the sunset / I filmed the sunset).
You can use filmen just like 'to film' in English. For instance:
- 'Wir filmen einen Kurzfilm.' (We are filming a short film.)
- 'Kannst du das filmen?' (Can you film that?)
- 'Der Regisseur filmt die Szene noch einmal.' (The director is filming the scene again.)
Filmen is a regular (weak) verb. This means its past tense and past participle forms follow a predictable pattern. You just add '-te' for the simple past and 'ge-' + stem + '-t' for the past participle.
While both can mean 'to record,' filmen specifically refers to recording video. Aufnehmen is more general and can mean to record audio, video, or even to take a picture. So, you would say 'Ich filme ein Video' (I'm filming a video) but 'Ich nehme einen Podcast auf' (I'm recording a podcast).
The past participle of filmen is gefilmt. You use this with 'haben' to form the present perfect (Perfekt) tense. For example, 'Ich habe das Konzert gefilmt.' (I have filmed the concert.)
No, filmen is specifically for recording video. For taking pictures, you would use verbs like 'fotografieren' (to photograph) or 'ein Foto machen' (to take a photo).
Filmen doesn't typically require a specific preposition. You usually just film an object directly. For example: 'Ich filme einen Film.' (I'm filming a film.) If you're filming *for* someone or *about* something, you might use 'für' (for) or 'über' (about) respectively, but these aren't directly linked to the verb itself.
Not many distinct idioms specifically use filmen. It's used quite literally. However, you might hear phrases like 'etwas ins Bild filmen' (to film something into the shot) or 'jemanden beim Lügen filmen' (to film someone lying), which are direct applications of the verb.
Here are the imperative (command) forms of filmen:
- Film! (Film! - informal singular)
- Filmt! (Film! - informal plural)
- Filmen Sie! (Film! - formal singular/plural)

However, if forced to use 'filmt' for the exercise, it would imply the lighting technician 'films' the settings which doesn't make sense. Re-evaluating, the prompt assumes 'filmen' can fit. If the intent was for 'filmen' to be used in some metaphorical or highly abstract sense here (e.g. 'films the process of setting up'), then perhaps, but it's a stretch. Let's assume there's a misunderstanding of the sentence and the user wanted a form of 'filmen' there. If we *must* choose from the options for 'filmen' to fill the blank, and assuming a very unusual context, 'filmt' (third person singular present tense) would be the most structurally similar to a verb that fits, but it still makes no semantic sense here. There seems to be a mistake in the question's design for 'filmen' specifically. If the question implies that the *process* of setting up is filmed, then 'filmt' could be the main verb of a subordinate clause after 'dass', but the sentence structure ('der Beleuchter ... genau') suggests a main clause verb for the Beleuchter's action. Let's assume the question intends a present tense action by 'der Beleuchter'. If 'filmt' is the only option that can fit syntactically in the present tense (and assuming 'filmen' could, in some obscure context, be used here), then it would be the choice. However, the question itself is problematic for the verb 'filmen'. I will choose 'filmt' as it is the singular present tense form, if we force the verb 'filmen' into this context. This highlights an issue with this specific exercise design.
