retakes

Shoots the scene again

Retakes are second attempts at something that didn't succeed the first time.

A student retakes an exam after failing.

A film crew shoots retakes when a scene needs improvement.

The word implies the original attempt was inadequate: After three retakes, the director was finally satisfied.
