Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'movie' (a film) + 'making' (the act of producing) yields 'the activity of producing movies', a standard noun–noun compound. This follows common English and cross‑linguistic patterns (e.g., filmmaking/film production), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase movie making comes from the old idea of 'moving pictures', which are pictures that move on a screen. So the word movie, short for 'moving picture', plus making became a simple way to say 'the process of producing movies'.
