Denotation
Dailies in film are the raw, unedited footage shot during that day. Sometimes in animation, they can also be called “rushes” or “sweat box sessions.” Dailies may seem boring or excessively long, and it’s because there are no cuts, and you are watching one, long drawn out performance. Often times, the editor strings together multiple performances of the same scene to get it just right.
Description
The term "dailies" typically refers to the raw, unedited footage that is shot during a day of filming. Dailies are also known as rushes or Daily Rushes. After a day of shooting the Film or Video Footage is processed and a set of prints is created for the filmmakers and key crew members to review.
Filmmakers use dailies to assess the footage, review performances, evaluate the composition of shots and identify any technical issues. This process allows them to make decisions about whether additional takes are needed. If certain scenes need to be re-shot or if adjustments should be made in terms of lighting, framing or other technical aspects.
The term "dailies" reflects the frequency with which these screenings occur during the Production of a Film typically on a daily basis. It's an essential part of the Filmmaking process providing filmmakers with an ongoing opportunity to monitor and shape the visual and Narrative Elements of their films as it unfolds.
