Film production glossaryB-roll

B-roll is supplementary footage that is cut over the main footage to illustrate what is being said or to cover an edit.

B-roll in practice

In an interview, the person speaking is the A-roll; the images of their workshop, their hands and the street outside are B-roll. Documentaries, corporate films and news depend on it. Editors always want more than was shot, so experienced directors plan B-roll in the shot list instead of hoping for spare time.

Where it lives in CrewDesk

A B-roll list in CrewDesk is a set of tasks on the project, so the director can see during the shoot which images are still missing.
