footage

Captured on camera

Footage is video or film material, measured historically in feet of film but now applied to any recorded visual content: security footage, news footage, behind-the-scenes footage.

The word implies raw or unedited material more often than finished productions.

Footage also refers to length or area measured in feet: the square footage of a house.
