retaking

Capturing once more

Retaking is the act of taking something again.

A retaking of a city means recapturing it from enemy forces.

A retaking of an exam means sitting for it a second time after failing or seeking a better score: She's retaking the bar exam in February.

In film, a retaking is shooting a scene again.
