Fade
A sleek, constant conversion from a regular picture to complete blackness (fade out), or viceversa (fade in).
Fast Motion
A shot in which time seems to shift more easily than regular. The process is generally obtained by either removing choose frames (called "skip frames") or by undercranking. See also movement artifact, freeze frame, frame rate, judder.
Feature Film
A film at least 40-45 moments (2 reels) long ideal for theatrical release. Comparison with short topic.
Film Buyer
A person who sets up to buy movies from an distributor on part of an exhibitor.

Forced Perspective
A strategy used to make a sense of long way or to make an space seem much larger than it is, pressured viewpoint is designed by using things that are differ in dimension, and putting them particular ranges from one another, to make the impact of things diminishing into the range.
Frame
An individual picture picture which gradually appears on a print.
Frame Rate
Movies are created by taking a fast series of pictures (frames) of action. By showing these frames at the same amount at which they were documented, the impression of movement can be created. "Frame Rate" is the number of frames taken or estimated per second. The The human optical system is only able of catching about 20 pictures per second; hence to give a genuine impression of movement a frame rate higher than this is required. Most contemporary films are shot and shown at 24 fps. Earlier films used lower frame rates, and hence when played back on modern equipment, fast motion occurs due to undercranking. See also: slow motion, fast motion, undercranking, overcranking, judder, motion artifact.
Freeze Frame
An optical printing impact whereby only one frame is recurring to give the impression that all activity has ceased. Often used by Martin Scorsese. Contrast with quit movement.
Fullscreen
Fullscreen is a phrase used to explain the form of the image a film is shown to be able for it to complete a frequent (as of 1998) TV display. At enough duration of composing, most TVs are squarer than the more recent wide widescreen TVs available on the industry. With these mature places, for every 4 inches/cm of horizontally monitor dimension there are 3 inches/cm of straight dimension, hence a 4:3 aspect ratio. Widescreen TVs have 5 and 1/3 inches/cm horizontally dimension for each 3 of vertical. Rather than create that as 5.333:3, we use 16:9. So fullscreen=4:3, widescreen=16:9. When a film is performed in fullscreen structure for a 4:3 TV, the film is almost always modified to fit. You may be familiar with the phrase "this movie has been modified from its original version. It has been formatted to fit your TV." What that almost always means is that much of the original picture has been thrown away, i.e. the pan and check out process has been used to choose the most appropriate items of the image to keep because the old TV display is the incorrect form to demonstrate the whole image.. In terms of home cinema, fullscreen is substandard to wide display and is often regarded to be an undesirable structure. The 4:3 form TV is predicted to become outdated over the next several years as TV goes to digital and HDTV formats, which are widescreen dependent. DVDs often provide both fullscreen and widescreen formats, however many are already only available in wide display and anamorphic structure, so as to take care of the increasing viewers of home cinema lovers who have already discontinued fullscreen.
