Cinematic mask (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

matte

(Other definitions for matte that I've seen before include "Mask used to block out areas of the image in filming" , "Dull, flat" , "Mask used in film; ET mat (anag.)" , "Mask used to record two images on same film" , "Mask used to add an image in front of camera" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
