* News about financial stories tend to use the B-roll because the new labor figures aren't something you can really film, unlike people standing in an unemployment line or working in a factory.

The name is the actual term used by news people. It refers to the fact that this footage is usually spooled out from the second ("B") deck on a LinearEdit system. The "A roll" footage is the interview itself, the presenter's questions, and any directly documentary footage. B-Roll is usually generic, and can in fact often be StockFootage. News about financial stories tend to use the B-roll because the new labor figures aren't something you can really film, unlike people standing in a unemployment line or working in a factory. Faces are almost never shown in b-roll when the story deals with sensitive issues like child welfare, adultery, obese/fat people or any kind of sexual topic- like condoms or teen sex.

* Music/NineInchNails: In the music video of "[[https://vimeo.com/3685071 Burn]]", there is B-Roll material of all kinds played in the background -- from ''Film/NaturalBornKillers'' cuts to footage of rotting fruit, an old family movie, the Holocaust, a Nazi rally, animal slaughter, wild animal fights, and domestic abuse. It's quite disturbing to watch.
