French term or phrase: cadrage
Contract where one company (XXX) wants to commission graphic design and animation services from another:

This has sort of come up before in the archives: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/french-to-english/cinema-film-tv-... - though the term there is "rapport de cadrage". I actually rather like the other answer there, "aspect ratio" for this case, i.e. the ratio of the rectangle which the film (or photo) uses.

Although at its most basic cadrage obviously means "framing". So, "however the shots are framed"? This would be an odd stipulation surely? Cadreur also translates as "camera operator", so it could even be "however it is shot"...

Or maybe it's unforgivably vague? But maybe not to an AV professional?

Explanation:
In this context, it isn't referring to the type of frame being used, but indeed the 'aspect ratio' of the picture — the height-to-width proportions, etc.
I think 'framing' is the better term to use here — not least, because the images might not only be 'cropped' in order to 're-frame' them, but might even be e.g. cut out to fit various shapes etc. — hence it is a lot broader than the dryly technical 'aspect ratio'.
The 'cadreur' is the person who 'frames' the shots.

Asker, do also note that we can't really talk about 'shot' where it involves graphic arts and material other than photo or film images.

Asker: it's not at all 'vague' — but it is very 'all-embracing', as things tend to need to be in this sort of document!

agree  SafeTex: yes, I don't like "aspect ratio" as it does not say what aspect! It could esily be misconstrued in principle

  -> Thanks, S/T! 'aspect ratio' is the standard, unambiguous term in the cinema and TV industries, but not really applicable in this context.

agree  David Connor: a graphics arts industry dictionary gives "fitting" with a synonym being "mise en repérage".

agree  Daryo: I think they have in mind the case when only a fragment of the full/original picture is used - because of changed aspect ratio or for some other reason - like adding your own design to mislead the public.
