grainy footage
Fuzzy video quality
Grainy footage is video or film with visible grain—the speckled, textured appearance that results from high film speed, low light, or low resolution.
The term often describes older recordings, security camera video, or amateur documentation: The grainy footage showed a figure entering the building.
Grainy footage carries connotations of authenticity or poor quality, sometimes both.
