Specs

feet_and_frames(t()) :: String.t()

Returns the number of feet and frames this timecode represents if it were shot on 35mm 4-perf film (16 frames per foot). ex: '5400+13'.

What it is

On physical film, each foot contains a certain number of frames. For 35mm, 4-perf film (the most common type on Hollywood movies), this number is 16 frames per foot. Feet-And-Frames was often used in place of Keycode to quickly reference a frame in the edit.

Where you see it

For the most part, feet + frames has died out as a reference, because digital media is not measured in feet. The most common place it is still used is Studio Sound Departments. Many Sound Mixers and Designers intuitively think in feet + frames, and it is often burned into the reference picture for them.
