1. Pick-up

   In filmmaking, a pick-up is a small, relatively minor shot filmed or recorded after the fact to augment footage already shot. When entire scenes are redone, it is referred to as a re-shoot. In news studios, the term is more commonly called "insert" or "reaction shots". Local news stations send just one remote camera to cover a story. This is called ENG or Electronic News Gathering, and PSC, Portable Single Camera. After the interview, the subject is then asked to "react to questions" and the camera then takes various shots ex-post-facto. The reactions from angles other than the original shoot are then edited into the final cut.
