What does Footage really mean?

Hey there! So, "footage" is a word that we usually hear when talking about videos or movies. It basically means the amount of film or video that has been shot or recorded. Let's think of it like this – when you're making a home movie, and you want to know how much you've recorded, that's when you're talking about the footage.

But "footage" can also mean something a little different. It can be used to describe the length or size of something, like a piece of land or a building. So, if you hear someone say "the footage of the property," they're not talking about a video. They're talking about how big the property is or how much land it covers.

I hope that makes sense! You can think of "footage" as the amount of something that has been captured or the size or length of something. It's a pretty cool word once you get the hang of it! Keep practicing, and I'm sure it'll become super easy to understand. Way to go!
