The Chinese word "摄影棚" (shèyǐngpéng), meaning "photography studio" or "film studio", is a compound noun formed through semantic combination: "摄" (shè) means "to capture", "影" (yǐng) means "shadow" or "image", together forming "摄影" for "photography" or "filming", and "棚" (péng) means "shed" or "canopy". The word thus logically constructs the concept of a dedicated, enclosed space (a shed) for the activity of capturing images.
