Take Number

A "Take" is the name given to a piece of action or event that has been filmed. Each time the same piece of action is filmed it is given a "take number".

If the action or event needs to be filmed again because of a mistake or for any other reason, it would be named "Take 2", Take 3", "Take 4" etc. The Take and Scene number is marked on the clapperboard which is held in front of the camera before (known as a Front Board) or after (End Board) the action is filmed.
