Abstract: The general acceptance of the wide screen has increased the probability with which normal perception of apparent movement can give way to discrete movement, the disconcerting perception of “skip” or “jump” of the projected image when it moves too rapidly across the screen. This paper not only reviews some of the theories and characteristics of apparent movement but also discusses ways in which discrete movement may be controlled.
