Media row

The Lapels Media row section: the heading "The making, frame by frame." with the last three words in italic, above four frames set at different heights. A pair of dark boots is captioned CLOTH, OFF THE BOLT with a play mark. A camel scarf is captioned CUT ON THE TABLE. A green blazer is captioned THE SHOULDER, SET with a play mark. A felt hat is captioned PRESSED AND FOLDED.

A row of frames, each one a photograph or a short film with a caption under it. Each Image or Video block is one frame, and the row can be set level or deliberately uneven.

What it does: Runs a sequence across the page, such as four moments of a process or four details of a piece. The stepped and offset layouts are what stop it reading as a plain grid of thumbnails.
