English term or phrase: rostrum
Contexte : il s'agit du texte accompagnant un DVD....(rétrospective musicale rock, Jimi Hendrix)

En dernière ligne du texte :

*Rostrum courtesy of XXXXX Pictures

Ce rostrum me laisse pantoise!
Les spécialistes de ce genre de choses auraient-ils une piste / idée ?

Merci!

Explanation:
The term 'rostrum' is sometimes used like this, as short for 'rostrum shots / footage' etc. — referring to those parts of the footage that have been derived from still images by shooting them on a 'rostrum camera'.

It isn't clear from the context as given, but it looks as if XXXXX is being credited with providing the rostrum material used in the DVD — that's my best guess, based on the slim context!

banc-titre


Explanation:
Je ne suis pas spécialement spécialiste en matériel cinéma, mais la traduction de rostrum est banc-titre en FR.

Vous pouvez entrer les deux termes ensemble dans google pour vérifier :)

Par contre ça ne me semble plus très utilisé donc, même pour des images d'archives c'est étrange, puisque les images d'archive d'un chanteur rock sont très rarement des animations créées en studio.

According to this site : http://www.riflemanharris.co.uk/scribbling/index.htm

"There are times when the voice over is supplemented with a photo, known as a rostrum shot; the lens moves across a still image giving the impression of movement in the image."

Ce qui mène à "photographies filmées", procédé très employé au début du cinéma et encore de nos jours, ou peut-être simplement dans ce contexte "photographies d'archives".

neutral  Tony M: is indeed the name of the piece of equipment; but in EN, it's sometimes used as short for 'rostrum shot OR photo' (even when that's not strictly accurate!) // All to do with context..??

  -> Okay thanks Tony.. so would those rostrum shots specifically be panning over a picture since it seems to be what they were originally made for, like a slide show? Why would they call it rostrum if they are just inserted pictures? I'm confused..
