A-Roll

A-Roll is the acronym for Primary Video Footage.

Primary Video Footage

Not an actual acronym; this is a term used in film and video production referring to the primary footage in cinematography. Originating from the days of film editing, A-roll refers to the main footage featuring the central subject or action, while B-roll is used to provide supplementary context, cutaways, and visuals that enhance the storytelling, add depth to the A-roll, or cover edits. A-roll typically includes the main interviews, dialogues, or direct actions that drive the narrative forward, serving as the foundation upon which the story is built.
