  • A freeze frame shot is used when one shot is printed in a single frame several times, in order to make an interesting illusion of a still photograph. Freeze Frame is also a drama medium term used in which, during a live performance, the actors/actresses will freeze at a particular, pre-meditated time, to enhance a particular scene, or to show an important moment in the play/production[like a celebration]. The image can then be further enhanced by spoken word, in which each character tells their personal thoughts regarding the situation, giving the audience further insight into the meaning, plot or hidden story of the play/production/scene. This is known as thought tracking, another Drama Medium. A very memorable Freeze Frame is the end of François Truffaut's The 400 Blows, a New Wave Film from 1959. Director George Roy Hill frequently made use of the Freeze Frame short when depicting the death of a character, as in The World According to Garp (1982) and in the memorable ending to the classic western Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Hong Kong director John Woo also makes extensive use of freeze frames shots, usually to gain a better focus on to a character's facial expression or emotion at a critical scene. An early use of the freeze frame in classic Hollywood cinema was Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life where the first appearance of the adult George Bailey on-screen is shown as a freeze frame. This technique is used quite a lot in the film Pieces of April. The director uses this to capture special moments that are very significant. Tim Davis' infamous 'wink' at the conclusion of ' is widely regarded as an unsuccessful use of this technique; Roger Ebert, in his review of the film, remarked of its conclusion, "who is this guy and why is he winking after apparently killing the protagonists?!"
  • Als Freeze Frame bezeichnet man im Film das Stilmittel, ein bestimmtes Einzelbild einzufrieren, also einen Effekt zu erzeugen, als würde der Film angehalten. Dafür wird im optischen Printer das gewünschte Einzelbild des Kameranegativs mehrfach hintereinander kopiert. Bekannt ist es vor allem aus verschiedenen Action- und Kung Fu-Filmen der 1970er sowie der Fernsehserie Navy CIS, in welcher zusätzlich solche eingefrorenen Bilder in Schwarzweiß dargestellt werden.
  • L'arrêt sur image ou freeze frame est une technique cinématographique qui consiste à répéter une même image pendant un certain temps ce qui donne l'impression que le mouvement s'est figé.
