Film technique is a term used to describe the various methods used in filmmaking to create a desired effect. FADE (4 letters) is a technique used to transition between two scenes or shots, where one image gradually fades out and the other fades in. FADEOUT (7 letters) is similar to FADE, but instead of transitioning between two images, one image gradually fades out until it is no longer visible. Freeze frame (11 letters) is a technique used to pause a scene or shot, creating a still image that remains on the screen for a certain amount of time.
