In German, this problem is avoided by calling it 'vorfilmisch' - which
covers both senses of the pro- and pre-filmic. But 'profilmic' is
definitely the more common term in English.

The term is definitely pro-filmic, but I chose "pre-filmic" as a reference
to the OP's question. Thank you for clearing that up!

I think "pro-filmic" is intended to mean what is in FRONT of the camera, but
either way makes sense.
