Film perforations

Also known as perfs or sprocket holes, are the holes seen on filmstrip, specifically on the left and right ends.

Perforations are also used in film reels. They run along the center of the reel and usually amount to six.

  In this logo, there are six large and small perforations surrounding the center, with the former set closest to the edges
• 
  Deviating from the usual six, there are five large sprocket holes and one tiny perf in the center.

Reel

A circular tool used to store long objects. In the case of movies, a filmstrip would wrap around it. The border surrounding the reels is called a flange (also known as rims).
