What does VERITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A style of film and television that tries to record real life as plainly as possible, with handheld cameras and no staged scenes.
The word is French for truth and is nearly always met in the phrase cinema verite, which became famous in the 1960s when lighter cameras and sound gear let directors follow ordinary people through their day.
