I don't know French, so am not sure about the translation of the term that Deleuze uses for movement - whether it is a specific term or just as general as 'movement' is in English. However it is clear that there is a distinction drawn between movement ordinarily understood as movement of an object through space, and movement as qualitative change. To signal this difference I am going to refer to the former as movement, and the latter as movement.

A photogramme is an immobile section. In the cinema usually at the rate of 24 per second. I'm not sure if photogramme is a common term in French writing on cinema or if it is peculiar to Deleuze. Here, and this is the first use of the term by Deleuze in the books, it describes the apparatus of capture and projection and the way each individual frame, as an individual frame, is a still and so appears as an immobile section. Deleuze is quick to point out that there is much more to it than this, but for Deleuze it would seem that the cinema does "proceed" from the photogramme and that the photogramme begins with immobile sections.
