See third line from the bottom. Does this mean simply 'still images' or 'stills' here? What term would be used by the film industry? The rest is fairly self-explanatory, other than (to me, anyway - but this will have to be the subject of another question) the 'plans' that follow...unless it is part of this term! ???

L'autorisation de reproduction et de présentation comporte exclusivement le droit de procéder à l'enregistrement par tous procédés techniques, sur tous supports (analogiques ou numériques) et en tout format, les images en noir et blanc ou en couleurs, les sons originaux et doublages, les titres et sous-titres du film ainsi que des ***photographies fixes*** représentant des plans de celui-ci tel que transmis par X; et ce, dans son intégralité.

A "plan" in film terms is the "shot" (as in "wide", "close" etc.), confirming I think the suggestions below.

"stills" came to my mind before I read your explanations. I know it's used in the Industry.
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Yes, and these are specifically 'stills (from the film itself)', as distinct from 'production stills'
