Deleted scene

There are various reasons why these scenes are deleted, which include time constraints, relevance, quality or a dropped story thread, and can also be due to budgetary concerns.

[1][2] Scenes are often removed from films and television shows at the request of a studio or network, or to reduce running time, to improve narrative flow, or that some may be offensive.

That is most common in the production of television series since networks and channels often must be mindful of how viewers, critics, or censors will react to programming.

Cut footage film was then pushed off the editing table and onto the floor below, and was swept up and discarded into a garbage can at the end of the working day.

While the term is often applied in the context of filming, it is also used to refer to any piece ultimately left out of a final product or the process necessary to remove it.

[citation needed] On the DVD for UHF, "Weird Al" Yankovic provides commentary of the deleted scenes and emphasizes that there are hours of film footage but that they were all removed for good reasons.
