On set, the clapper-loaders worked quickly to prepare each reel before the director called action.

The happy-clappies filled the front row, cheering and applauding every song.

The old clapperless bell hung silently in the abandoned chapel, its hollow frame echoing memories rather than sound.

As the storm passed, the old church bell clappered so loudly that every dog in the village barked.

The old shutters were clappering in the wind, sounding like distant drums.

The street performer finished his trick; everyone clapped.

Clapperton donated his grandfather's pocket watch to the local museum last Saturday.

At the bustling square, a clapperdudgeon smeared fake blood and sores on his arms to tug at the sympathies of passersby and gather more alms.

The Clappertons arrived at the village meeting to discuss the harvest.

On the busy set, the director lined up several clapper boards to keep track of each scene's takes.
