]]> Dailies – Unedited footage shot during the making of a motion picture. Usually at the end of each day, that day’s footage is developed, synced to sound, and exported for viewing the next day by the director and some members of the film crew. However, the term can be used to refer to any raw footage, regardless of when it is processed.

]]> Digital Cinematography – Shooting movies with digital cameras – not film. This growing practice generally makes use of cameras designed specifically for the purpose. These differ from the television application in that the full range of brightness captured by the image sensors is offered at the output as raw data, allowing color grading, format changes, etc. to be executed as a part of the digital intermediate process. Television cameras are designed to work live, and so they include front-end processing for gamma correction, set-up for the required color look and clipping to suit home viewing conditions.

This allows all latitude headroom to be included on the material for use in a DI process so adjustments of color and exposure can be made to the same degree as with film.
