New and not resembling something formerly known or used -- the the one who would know or use it. Black and white may not have been a novelty when the first few color films came out. But if someone made a black and white movie now, it would be novel, because it is not something known or used in the age of color, with few exceptions. Currently, 24 fps movies are not novel. But when HFR catches on - and I believe it will - a movie that opts for a 24 fps style may be novel. Perhaps our children, or grandchildren, will grow up in a world where they never saw a 24 fps film come out. That will be when what we considered the norm will be novel.
