Black field isolation

25 frames in the library match Black field isolation, across 15 films from 11 brands. Every one was measured off the film itself rather than read off a description of it, so this is how the shot gets used in practice rather than how a style guide says it ought to be.

There are no renders on this page and no gear lists. Each still below is a real second of a film you can go and watch, and every number counts actual frames rather than estimating from a sample.
