An
outtake is a portion of a work (usually a
film or
music recording) that is removed in the
editing process and not included in the work's final, publicly released version. In the digital era, significant outtakes have been appended to
CD and
DVD reissues of many
albums and films as
bonus tracks or features, in film often, but not always, for the sake of humor. In terms of photos, an outtake may also mean the ones which are not released in the original set of photos (i.e. photo shoots and digitals).
