Q

The frame

A

Two definitions

Physical frame: each individual still image captured on film or on video, which, when projected as a series, creates the illusion of motion

Compositional frame: two dimensional space defined by its horizontal x axis and vertical y axis dimensions. Third dimension for depth z axis
