The frame rate of film projected in theaters is not 48 fps. It is 24 fps using a three-blade shutter on the projector resulting in an effective frame rate of 72 fps with each frame projected three times. Film is not an electronic medium. The terms analog and digital do not apply. There is analog video that has nothing to do with film.
