Which term refers to the rushes that are sent to a lab for development and review the next day?

• A. Dailies
• B. Deliverables
• C. Cueing
• D. BWAV/BWF

Answer: (A)

The term describes the daily footage shot on set that gets processed and reviewed the next day. Dailies are the raw or minimally processed material from the day’s shoot, sent to a lab or post facility so it’s developed and ready to view, typically for the director, cinematographer, and editor to assess performance, lighting, and continuity before deciding what to keep or reshoot. The workflow hinges on turning each day’s rushes around quickly so decisions can be made while production is still fresh. In some places this may be called rushes, but dailies is the standard term used to refer to this daily turn-around viewing. The other options don’t fit because deliverables are the final outputs, cueing relates to playback cues, and BWAV/BWF is an audio file format.
