film study

Analyzing cinematic works

Film study is the careful review of recorded footage to analyze performance, strategy, or technique.

Athletes and coaches watch film study to break down plays, spot weaknesses, and prepare for opponents: The team spent hours in film study before the big game.

The practice extends beyond sports to any systematic examination of video material for improvement or insight.
