titles are superimposed onto frames.

synchronizer block A small mechanical bench device with sprocketed wheels mounted
on a revolving shaft. Located between film reels mounted on shafted rewinds, it accepts
one strip of film and perforated magnetic soundtrack per sprocketed wheel. Once the
film and track are locked onto the wheels, they can be placed in exact mechanical sync
and will maintain this sync while they are advanced forward through the synchronizer
block. The synchronizer block also keeps track of elapsed footage via a mechanical feet
and frame counter geared to the sprocket wheels. Also known as a sync block, gang sync,
or synchronizer.
take A take is another version of a particular shot. In shooting a film, there may be multiple
