Compensate for not shooting film? (6)
I believe the answer is:
offset
'compensate for' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'not shooting film?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'film?' could be 'et' (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) and 'et' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for offset that I've seen before include "Compensation; printing technique" , "Compensation - printing process" , "Type of printing of efts" , "Counterbalance(d)" , "Balance out" .)
