Hard cut to black
29 frames in the library match Hard cut to black, across 24 films from 23 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.
