Everything about Outtake totally explained
An
outtake is a portion of a work (usually a
film or
music recording) that's removed in the
editing process and not included in the work's final, publicly released version. In the digital era significant outtakes have been appended to
CD and
DVD reissues of many
albums and films as
bonus tracks or features.
In film
An outtake can be a
take or
scene, as of a movie, or a
television program, that's filmed but not used in the final cut, usually for "pacing" reasons. Some of these are humorous mistakes (commonly known to American audiences known as
bloopers). An outtake may also be a complete version of a recording that's dropped in favour of another version.
Often outtakes can be found as special features on
DVDs. Outtakes can also be found playing over credits at the end of a film or TV program. Well known examples of this are
Jackie Chan and
Pixar movies, almost all of which play outtakes at the end of the movie.
In music
Just like a movie outtake, music outtakes are recordings that are not used in a final version of an album. Collections of this sort of material is often compiled and distributed illegally by fans, and known as a
bootleg recording. Sometimes, artists release collections of outtakes, sometimes grouped with other rarities such as
demos and unreleased
songs.
Occasionally collections of outtakes become recognized as part of an artist's major creative output, especially in cases where an artist is unusually prolific or dies young. An example of the former is the seven-volume
Bootleg Series from
Bob Dylan, which contains many important Dylan songs omitted from his albums, some of which were made famous by other artists. An example of the latter is the CD
Time of No Reply by
Nick Drake, a British
singer-songwriter who died almost unknown at the age of 26 in 1974, but whose music became highly influential on other artists in subsequent decades.
