  Zapruder film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zapruder filmed the scene with a Model 414 PD Bell and Howell Zoomatic Director Series Camera that operated via a spring-wound mechanism at an average tested speed of 18.3 frames-per-second.
Zapruder's film is the most complete and best-known movie of the assassination, as it provides a relatively clear view of the motorcade from a somewhat elevated position.
The film itself is sometimes featured in films or other media, such as the Oliver Stone film JFK, which used an early generation copy of the Zapruder film, with the result that the film may be one of the clearest sources available to the public.

Interviews with people involved in the film's creation, development, acquisition, analysis and recent digital capture are mixed with archival footage and scientific diagrams covering everything from Zapruder's camera to the geometry of the assassination.
The Zapruder film itself is covered quite thoroughly, and some supplemental video clips flesh out the context (see the Extras Review.) Keep in mind that this is a documentary about the Zapruder Film of the Kennedy assassination, not the assassination itself.
Various versions of the 8mm Zapruder Film itself exhibit degrees of scratching and wear, and even the carefully restored versions that are the main attraction here are unsteady and soft.

 Amazon.com: The Great Zapruder Film Hoax: Deceit and Deception in the Death of JFK: Books: James H. Fetzer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Thompson has argued that the chronology of the film's possession precluded its alteration; that the publication of frames in LIFE magazine's issue of 29 November 1963 made it very difficult to fake; and that the synchronicity of the film relative to other photographs and films disproves it.
This volume emerged from The Zapruder Film Symposium, which was organized and moderated by James H. Fetzer on the Duluth Campus of the University of Minnesota, 9-11 May 2003, and may well prove to have been among the most important conferences in the history of the study of the death of JFK.
Zapruder, who was haunted by what he had filmed until his death in 1970, is not here to defend himself.

Film traveling mattes and counter-matte(s) can be a confusing issue, my challenge is to show the process in plain old ENGLISH and not doublespeak of which so much surrounds the "Zapruder Film".
I saw the Zapruder film sometime around the Geraldo showing, it was a bootleg copy some cameraman came across, the first time I saw it maybe 5 or 6 other television cameramen saw it, to a man we felt it was bullshit.

Steadied by his secretary as he stood on a concrete pedestal (he was afraid of falling), Zapruder filmed the entire assassination of JFK.

 Online NewsHour: Zapruder Film -- July 14, 1998
WALEED ALI: Well, we thought that the story of the film, the actual history of the Zapruder film, was fascinating enough back in 1991 when we were working on a documentary on the assassination of JFK.
We licensed the footage for that documentary, and at that point I had asked the Zapruder organization if we could create a documentary that basically told the biography of this fascinating piece of film, probably the most fascinating piece of film that was ever shot in the 20th century.
DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN: Well, there's no question that the film itself is a piece of history and that the enhanced version of it may contribute to history, but I don't see any historical value in its mass marketing to the public as a whole.
