Newspapers published every day; in filmmaking, the raw footage from a day's shooting.
From 'daily' (from Latin 'dies' meaning 'day'). In journalism, 'dailies' refers to daily publications; in film, it's shorthand for 'daily rushes' from production.
Dailies in film production are the unedited clips directors review each night—it's thrilling, chaotic footage that often surprises even the director! The term connects newspaper tradition with film tradition of reviewing fresh work daily.
