director commentary

Behind-the-scenes voiceover

Director commentary is an audio track included with film releases where the director discusses the making of the movie while it plays.

These tracks typically cover behind-the-scenes stories, creative decisions, and production challenges: I always watch the director commentary on my favorite films.

The format extends to video games and TV series.

Also called director's commentary.
