Part 1 What Is Freeze Frame Video Editing?
Freeze frame video editing is a video editing technique that halts movement in a video for a given period. It converts moving pictures into still photography for some time. These video editor effects help filmmakers gear attention to the video editing or filmmaking process. In other words, they are self-reflexive.
Part 2 Ways to Use Freeze Frame in Video editing
Freeze frames can be helpful in 3 significant ways in video editing;
● At the beginning of a movie/video: Freeze-frame at the beginning helps you pique the audience’s interest and give them a sneak peek of what to expect in the movie. This freeze-frame technique was used in the film ‘Good Fellas’ to pique the audience’s interests.
● At the end: Using a freeze-frame allows the audience to choose or decide how the movie ends, whether it is obvious. The ‘breakfast club’ filmmakers use a freeze-frame at the end to emphasize the young boy.
● In the middle, subtly capturing intense moments like in the movie ‘The Departed.’
Part 3 What are the Best Freeze-Frame Video Editing Examples?
It takes a great deal of skill to employ freeze frame with the best results correctly. It might bore the audience or give another impression other than the intended when not done effectively.
But several movie directors have effectively used the freeze-frame video editing technique that wowed the audience.
Here is a list of the best freeze frame examples you would love;
01The Departed
In this 2006 movie, an undercover cop and a mole try to identify each other. Scorsese shows his editing prowess once again as he uses freeze-frame more subtly.
He changes the frame speed instead of stopping on one frame for a considerably longer time. This emphasizes some memorable moments that you may overlook on a first watch.
02Rocky III
The freeze-frame came in during the final match between Apollo and Balboa in this movie.
During the first 3 Rocky movies, Apollo and Balboa had an intriguing rivalry. At the end of Rocky III, the duo decides to engage in a friendly battle to determine who was the Lord in boxing.
The movie ends in a freeze-frame with Rocky swinging a right hook after Apollo imitates the bell, saying, “Ding Dong.”
The freeze-frame allows the audience to guess who the winner will be, thus a longer time to think of the movie after watching.
03400 Blows
In 400 Blows, the main character Antoine, a young Parisian, was hardly out of trouble.
In an attempt to end his troubles, he arrives at the beach after running away from a soccer match.
He is faced with either jumping right in or going back. The movie ends in a freeze-frame as no one finds out. The decision was left to the audience.
04Thelma and Louise
Thelma and Louise is about two (2) friends, Thelma Dickinson and Louise Sawyer. They both rise to defend themselves in a male-dominated world. In the film, Thelma and Louise are both running from the authorities. Louise killed a man who almost raped her friend, Thelma, thus the run. Things get out of control as they try to escape to Mexico, away from the authorities.
While on the run, they get ambushed by the police towards the grand canyon. The audience, at this point, is in suspense as to whether the ladies will survive or not.
Instead of surrendering, they drive right into the grand canyon, and the movie ends in a freeze-frame as they get caught hanging in the air while plunging into the canyon.
Regular movies might decide to give us all the details of the car plunging and exploding.
05The Wolf of Wall Street
Scorsese uses freeze-frame at the beginning of this movie, just as he did in Good Fellas. The freeze-frame effect here helps introduce the character and shows us the plot of the movie hence piquing the audience’s interests immediately.
06Out of Sight
This movie is another excellent example of freeze-frame video editing. What other way to pique the audience’s interest significantly and emphasize them than capture them in a freeze-frame.

After a gun battle with the authorities, they take cover inside a building, but they get surrounded with no other escape route.
Thus they decide to engage in the last fight instead of surrendering, and you see them in a gun battle with the authorities. The movie ends with them caught in a freeze-frame brandishing their guns at the officers instead of actual bloodshed. Though we all know they will get killed.
09Good Fellas
Initially, we mentioned that a freeze-frame could be of use at the beginning of a movie. Scorsese used this effectively in ‘Good Fellas’ to emphasize the movie plot.
In the opening scene, the characters Henry, Jimmy, and Tonny, played by Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci, respectively, stop their car in the middle of the road.
They open their truck and see a man badly wounded and beaten, Tonny stabs him, and Jimmy shoots him. Henry then closes the truck and looks on in a freeze-frame before uttering the lines, “As far back as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a gangster.”
This lets us know right away what will happen in the movie. That person will get killed, and this is the mob territory.
10Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
