film still

Frozen cinema moment

A film still is a photograph taken on a movie set, either captured during filming or posed separately for publicity purposes.

Unlike a screenshot pulled from the finished film, a still is shot with a dedicated camera, often by a unit photographer: The lobby displayed vintage film stills from Hollywood's golden age.

Stills serve as promotional materials and historical records of productions.
