Freeze frame
n.phr.
Subject Field: Cinematography

A freeze frame is an effect achieved in the laboratory after a film is shot. A single frame is reprinted so many times on the film strip that when the film is shown, the motion seems to stop and the image on the screen remains still, as though the projector had stopped or the image had been frozen.

Context: The freeze frame is one of several operations called opticals, operations that are carried out in a laboratory rather than an a set or in a cutting room. On the set Truffaut could have directed the boy to stand stock-still; in the cutting room Truffaut could have directed his film editor to cut the film at that moment of stillness an the beach.
