In [[filmmaking]] and [[video production]], '''footage''' is raw, unedited material as originally filmed by a [[movie camera]] or recorded by a [[video camera]], which typically must be [[film editing|edited]] to create a motion picture, [[video clip]], [[television show]] or similar completed work. |

Footage may also refer to sequences used in film and [[video editing]], such as special effects and [[archive]] material (for special cases of this, see [[stock footage]] and [[B roll]]). |

⚫ | The origin of the term "footage" is that early [[35 mm film|35 mm]] [[silent film]] has traditionally been measured in [[foot (length)|feet]] and [[frame (film)|frames]]; the fact that film was measured by length in cutting rooms, and that there are 16 frames ([[4-perf]] film format) in a foot of 35 mm film which roughly represented 1 second of silent film, made footage a natural unit of measure for film. The term then became used figuratively to describe moving image material of any kind. |

[[Television]] footage, especially news footage, is often traded between [[television network]]s, but good footage usually commands a high price. The actual sum depends on duration, age, size of intended audience, duration of licensing and other factors. [[Amateur film]] footage of current events can also often fetch a high price on the market – scenes shot inside the [[World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center]] during the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] were reportedly sold for [[United States dollar|US$]]45,000.<ref>[http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/ny-bzvid304099352dec30,0,1206167.story News day.com - Amateur video playing greater role] – Retrieved July 3, 2009</ref> Sometimes film projects will also sell or trade footage, usually [[second unit]] material not used in the final cut. For example, the end of the non-[[director's cut]] version of ''[[Blade Runner]]'' used landscape views that were originally shot for ''[[The Shining (film)|The Shining]]'' before the script was modified after shooting had finished.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/trivia IMDb's Trivia page for ''Blade Runner''] – Retrieved July 3, 2009</ref> A footage broker is an [[agent (law)|agent]] who deals in footage by promoting it to footage purchasers or producers, while taking a profit in the sales transaction.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}} |

Since the term originates in film, footage is only used for recorded images, such as [[film stock]], [[videotape]]s or [[digitizing|digitized]] clips – on [[live television]], the signals from video cameras are instead called ''sources''. |
