Outtake vs. Blooper — What's the Difference?

An outtake is a portion of a work (usually a film or music recording) that is 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 often, but not always, for the sake of humor.

A blooper is a short clip from a film or video production, usually a deleted scene, containing a mistake made by a member of the cast or crew. It also refers to an error made during a live radio or TV broadcast or news report, usually in terms of misspoken words or technical errors.

A section or scene, as of a movie, that is filmed but not used in the final version.

(Informal) A clumsy mistake, especially one made in public; a faux pas.

A complete version, as of a recording, that is dropped in favor of another version.

A weakly hit ball that carries just beyond the infield.

An opening for outward discharge; a vent.

A high pitch that is lobbed to the batter.

A portion of a recording (a take) that is not included in the final version of a film or a musical album, often because it contains a mistake.

An outtake in which a member of the cast or crew for a movie, television show, or other filmed production makes a mistake, usually in an amusing way.

A complete version of a recording or film that is dropped in favour of another version, reject.

(informal) A blunder, an error.

An opening for outward discharge; a vent.

A portion of a recorded performance which is eliminated in the editing process and is not included in the final commercial presentation. The recording may be audio or visual or both, but is usually of a film or television performance. Outtakes often include mistakes or lower quality performances, and sometimes blunders. The latter type are occasionally presented separately to the public for amusement.
