Concept in Definition ABC

Each of the consecutive images in a movie

Popularly known as a frame is each of the images that occur in a motion picture and that are considered in isolation..

The frame size will depend on the Format of the movie. The smallest 8 mm. It is 4.8 x 3.5 mm. And in the largest known as IMAX it is 69.6 x 48.5 mm. The larger the frame, the sharper the image projected on the screen.

Each one of the images is printed on paper, as a photographic film collected by an excellent resolution camera and velocity it will be the one that will allow to obtain that exact sequence of the images printed on paper. When a certain sequence of frames can be visualized by the viewer with a certain frequency in the images, it is that they will then be able to feel the sensation from movement.

For the human eye to effectively perceive the movement of images, the frame must have a frequency lower than 50 Hz.

In the cinema they are projected 24 per second to create the illusion of movement

In the case of movie theater, to be able as viewers to appreciate a film of this type of art, the frames must be projected with a cadence of 24 frames per second and then, with this frequency, the human eye will perceive the long-awaited illusion of movement.

Meanwhile, this situation that occurs in the cinema, but also in the Photography And on television, it is possible as a consequence that such a rapid succession of images will block the brain's ability to appreciate them as separate photographs, one by one, the This theme of persistence in sight, inevitably, will cause the brain to end up mixing the images in question and giving viewers the natural feeling of movement.

For example, the concept is closely linked with the aforementioned media and in particular with the seventh art.

To be able to appreciate a movie in cinema, as we pointed out lines above, it is required that the frames are projected at a cadence of 24 per second to thereby produce the illusion of movement.
Meanwhile, the frame rate plays a fundamental role ...

The visual effects that can be created with speed

Moving images are represented to the public at a constant speed that we have already indicated, however, varying the speed at which the image is captured, various effects can be created.
Capturing images at high speeds or, failing that, very low speeds and then playing them back at the constant and agreed speed will have important effects on the image. perception from the same. Techniques that by the way are widely used today
The manipulation not only of time but also of space is an issue that influences a lot when it comes to storytelling, it is a tool vital that the director has.
A widely used technique is speed ramping, which allows you to change the frame rate over time.
In the fantastic science fiction film Matrix, a cult proposal today, techniques such as the mentioned and so many more in which the manipulation of time knows how to produce incredible effects before the gaze of the viewer. Those effects that you see and will be thinking about the rest of the day, how they did it!
