Meaning of Super 8 | Babel Free

Definitions

A motion picture film format introduced in the 1960s, nominally 8 millimetres wide, but having smaller perforations than earlier formats, allowing for greater exposed area.

Examples

“Boyle revives some of the stylistic tics which found themselves being ripped off by geezer-gangster Britflicks back in the day, but now the freezeframes are briefer, sharper; the movie itself refers back to the original with variant flashback versions of famous scenes, but also Super 8-type images of the boys’ poignant boyhood in primary school.”
