By contrast, a "shot" is "a series of frames, that runs for an uninterrupted period of time."

- sk00byd00 13y agoPersonally I took the phrase 'frame-by-frame' to be a figure of speech. "A figure of speech is the use of a word or a phrase, which ascend from its literal interpretation." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_speech http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_speech I think the comment author was just trying to emphasize they were trying to be thorough, a bit like when police say they will search an area with a fine-toothed comb. No reasonable person expects the police to use actual combs.
