Frescoes by Giotto
The phrase appears in a paragraph explaining to cartoon animators how to present a selection of episodes from the cycle of frescoes in the Basilica di San Francesco d'Assisi. I think "inquadratura prospettica" means "perspective setting", but it doesn't make sense to me in the context of the phrase ... or maybe I'm just tired...
Sentence:
"I singoli episodi sono racchiusi entro cornici orizzontali, che funzionano come inquadratura prospettica"
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

perspective snapshots
I remember seeing this cycle of frescoes in Assisi and thinking they reminded me of frames of film, or photographic stills as episodes in a story.

perspective view
The right term should be 'perspective view', especially when we talk about Giotto...

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your suggestion but while inquadratura prospettiva may indeed refer to "perspective view" or "perspective setting" (my option) neither really work in the context of the phrase. |
