Question re: Video - Raw Footage

What exactly is raw footage

Say you have a 12 hour package and you get a 1 hour DVD as the finished product.

Is the raw footage:

1) 12 hours of everything shot from start to finish and not edited at all

and if this is the case is it several DVD's of material from all cameras rolling from the day

2) 11 hours of tape - not including parts from the final DVD

3) something else

Explain

Thanks

Re: Question re: Video - Raw Footage

raw footage is every single minute of video taken before it is edited down, and the unimportant parts are taken out

I thought raw footage was everything - raw everything. What is considered the 'unimportant parts?'

Raw footage is everything. You get to see the stuff that make the cut.

lets say you have a long alise ... they will film everybody walking down the alise but the made fade in/out that you didnt have to walk 1 mile to get there.

During your viedo, you will only here a couple of songs with your guest dance...they may of taped a couple of more songs but didnt play it, etc...

or lets say uncle bob got in front of the camera and was drunk and silly and you didnt want it, they wont but it on there...but they got it on tape

Oh, ok, it was as I thought. You know I will sit there and watch over five hours of video! Over and over again!

But, hmm, now I wish I had an Uncle Bob!

That would definitely give us a chuckle for the years to come!

okay, I can now answer my own post

The camera is not rolling all day long even if you have a 12 hour package. So the raw footage is the 3 - 5 hours of tape that do not make the 1 hour video.
