Start where filming takes place (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

onset

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'start' is the definition.
(both can mean the beginning of something)

'filming takes place' is the wordplay.
'filming takes' becomes 'on' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'place' becomes 'set' (setting is a kind of placing).
'on'+'set'='ONSET'

'where' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for onset that I've seen before include "Attack using stone" , "origin" , "First signs" , "Storming" , "Beginning (of something often unpleasant)" .)
