Grammar
Shoot/take a film/shoot a film + from/of/in
Hello friends,
I have a friend in China I usually chat to her through Paltalk Messenger. I wanted to tell her a sentence but didn't know how to say the sentence grammatically correct.
1. If I come to China I will ask you to help me to take some films from beautiful places in your city.
2. If I come to China I will ask you to help me to shoot some films from beautiful places in your city.
3. If I come to China I will ask you to help me to shoot from beautiful places in your city.
4. If I come to China I will ask you to help me to take some films of beautiful places in your city.
5. If I come to China I will ask you to help me to shoot some films of beautiful places in your city.
6. If I come to China I will ask you to help me to shoot of beautiful places in your city.
7. If I come to China I will ask you to help me to take some films in beautiful places in your city.
8. If I come to China I will ask you to help me to shoot some films in beautiful places in your city.
9. If I come to China I will ask you to help me to shoot in beautiful places in your city.
I am totally confused about that. I don't know how to say. I have problem with the bold written parts. I don't know which one to choose. Would you please be nice enough to help me on that? What's your opinion about my above sentences? How would you say it if you were me?
Many thanks.

shoot may originally have been movie-making jargon but I'd say it's long since filtered through into common parlance

sb70012shoot may originally have been movie-making jargonI don't use "shoot" for the casual photography of the general public.
I use it for professional photography - portraiture, photojournalism, art and movie-making.
