Bto

Bto is slang term that stands for “Back to One.” It is commonly used in the entertainment industry, particularly in film and television production. Bto is a phrase often used by directors or crew members to signify going back to the starting point or the beginning of a scene or sequence.

In film and television production, “Back to One” is a call often made by the director to instruct the actors to return to their initial positions or starting point for a particular scene. The term Bto is derived from this phrase and serves as a quick and efficient way to communicate the same instruction on set.

Example 1:
Director: “Alright, we are running out of time. Let’s wrap up this scene and go for one more take. Bto everyone!”

Example 2:
Assistant Director: “We had a technical glitch during that last shot. Reset the props and Bto for another try.”

In both examples, Bto is used to direct the individuals involved in the production to return to the starting point or initial positions to redo a particular scene or sequence.
