Footage refers to a segment of film or video that captures a specific event, scene, or moment. It can be used in various contexts, such as movies, documentaries, or news broadcasts. The term originated from the measurement of film in feet, indicating how much film was used to record a particular scene. In modern media, footage can be recorded using different devices, including cameras and smartphones. It can be edited and manipulated to create a desired narrative or visual effect. Editing software is often employed to enhance the quality and presentation of the footage, making it suitable for public viewing.
