Video/Cinema vs Stage terminogy

[Bruce Baird]

Mark (and others),

Do you use the word "frame" even when in practice you are watching a  
succession of frames which creates the illusion of movement? So its  
not really the case that something is happening in the upper left  
hand corner of a frame (which is a single moment in time), but that  
something appears to be happening.

Best,

Bruce
