  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Frame 150 from the Zapruder film.

The Zapruder film is a silent, color motion picture sequence shot by private citizen Abraham Zapruder, a citizen with a home-movie camera, as U.S. President John F. Kennedy's motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, thereby unexpectedly capturing the President's assassination.

The Zapruder film was added to the National Film Registry in 1994.

Tropes used in Zapruder film include:
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: Many. It was the film most studied by the Warren Commission detailed to look into the assassination, and it provided many of the clues they used to draw up their final report.
  • Gorn: The camera angle provides an extremely detailed look at Kennedy's death, in all its up close and gory detail.
  • Ur Example: The very first U.S. presidential assassination caught on film.
