A frame line is the unused space that separates two adjacent images, "frames", on a piece of motion picture film. It can vary in width; it is approx. 8 mm / 0.3" wide on a common "hard matted" 35 mm print of 1:1,85 aspect ratio, but very narrow on a "full-frame" negative, or in a CinemaScope print, where the frames practically touch each other.
