film recording
The result of filming; a recorded clip, a scene, or an entire film.
Die Polizei wertet die Filmaufnahme der Überwachungskamera aus, um den Täter zu identifizieren.
The police are analyzing the film recording from the surveillance camera to identify the perpetrator.
The word is made up of 'Film' (film) and 'Aufnahme' (recording). 'Aufnahme' comes from the separable verb 'aufnehmen', which here means 'to record something' or 'to film'.
Das Aufnehmen von Videos mit dem Handy ist heute ganz normal.
Recording videos with a phone is completely normal today.
The context reveals the meaning: if it is about the duration or sequence of events, e.g. 'die Aufnahme dauerte lange' (the recording took a long time), the process is meant. If it is about viewing or analyzing something, e.g. 'die Aufnahme zeigen' (to show the recording), the result is meant.
Die Filmaufnahme der gesamten Zeremonie dauerte drei Stunden.
The filming of the entire ceremony lasted three hours.
Pay attention to the preposition: 'bei den Filmaufnahmen' describes being present during filming (process). 'Auf der Filmaufnahme' describes what can be seen in the finished video (result).
Bei den Filmaufnahmen gab es eine kleine technische Panne.
During the filming, there was a small technical glitch.
When 'Filmaufnahme' (film recording) is the result, it is often combined with verbs like 'ansehen' (to watch), 'auswerten' (to analyze/evaluate), 'sichten' (to review), 'veröffentlichen' (to publish), or 'löschen' (to delete).
Die Journalisten sichteten stundenlang die alten Filmaufnahmen.
The journalists spent hours reviewing the old film recordings.
When 'Filmaufnahme' (filming) is the process, it is often used with verbs like 'beginnen' (to begin), 'abschließen' (to finish/complete), 'unterbrechen' (to interrupt), or 'fortsetzen' (to continue).
Wegen des starken Regens mussten wir die Filmaufnahmen unterbrechen.
Because of the heavy rain, we had to interrupt the filming.
scene
'Szene' and 'Filmaufnahme' can both have to do with film and video. A 'Szene' is a content-based part of a film, meaning a section of the plot. A 'Filmaufnahme' can be the filmed material or the process in which the camera records. So a film recording can show a scene, but it is not the same as the scene itself. Learners may confuse the words because people often talk about both after shooting. For the plot or action, you would more likely say 'Szene'; for the recording process or the material, 'Filmaufnahme' is more likely.
Für die Filmaufnahme musste das Team die Straße kurz sperren.
For the filming, the team had to briefly close the street.
Jan übt die Szene noch einmal, bevor die Kamera läuft.
Jan rehearses the scene once more before the camera starts rolling.
