I have used in my study the five mentioned frames in theory, because I reviewed previous studies and have found each researcher used many terms to identify frames that related to the subject of his research.
I guess that your 5 frames are the ones used by Semetko & Valkenburg (Conflict, Responsibility, Economic Consequences, Human Interest & Morality). Matthes & Kohring however started from Entman's "Frame elements" to look at frames - which if you have sufficient data might be an idea. Bruggemann looked at frame sending and frame setting - separating the two as part of frame building. And finally, Baumgartner & Mahoney looked at individual and collective frames in politics. Hope this doesn't confuse the whole debate regarding framing - as Scheufele pointed out most recently (but haven't got the reference on hand) - even more.
I (with my coresearcher) have also adopted Semetko and Valkenberg (S & V) in our work, and while some of our emergent frames where solid matches with their five frames we decided it would be authentic to preserve the research context (i.e., occupational injury and fatality ) by developing conceptual frames of our own that were synonymous with S & V's but unique enough to warrant alternative frame development. So as Jose A. Ruiz San Roman says, you can use S & V frames in a confirmatory fashion but I wouldn't be hesitant to create nice variations for some these frames if you feel it can work.

A new article by one of my colleagues addresses how media scholars have approached "framing" and questions whether we should move in a new direction when we write or research "framing." We discussed it in graduate seminar--it is worth a read.

That was the reference I was referring to at the end of my diatribe. Thanks for reminding us of it - and actually providing the reference which I was looking for.
We used a slightly different set of frames in our book Common Knowledge, News and the Construction of Political Meaning. There is a chapter on framing.
