Explanation:
Often shot while the director is getting annoyed with the actors and the cameraman would otherwise be wasting time. Short sequences taken on the set while the 'real' takes are being shot (so the lighting conditions are the same) 'just in case' they are needed to fill awkward gaps/jumps when the film/video is edited.
