Dailies
In filmmaking, dailies or rushes are the raw, film editing, unedited footage shot during the making of a motion picture. The term "dailies" comes from when movies were all shot on film because usually at the end of each day, the footage was developed, synchronization, synced to sound, and printed on film in a batch (in the future telecined onto videotape or disk) for viewing the next day by the director, selected actors, and film crew members. With the advent of digital filmmaking, "dailies" were available instantly after the take and the review process was no longer tied to the overnight processing of film and became more asynchronous. Now some reviewing may be done at the shoot or even on location, and raw footage may be immediately sent electronically to anyone in the world who needs to review the takes. For example, a director may review takes from a second unit while the crew is still on location or producers can get timely updates while travelling. Dailies serve as an indic ...
