Crossword Genius

Shot fired over man's head with the other hand (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

filmed

'shot' is the definition.
(shot on film)

'fired over man's head with the other hand' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'man' could be 'ed' (short for Edward) and 'ed' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'film' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for filmed that I've seen before include "Made a movie" , "Made for cinema" , "Shot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
