More importantly, why would a director or studio choose to change the shape a movie is presented in?
com and our print magazine . Subscriptions help fund the work we do every day.In simple terms, the aspect ratio of a movie is how wide the frame of the movie is versus how tall it is, usually expressed as a ratio. For example, most TVs and computer monitors are 1.77:1 , which means the screen itself is 1.77 times as wide as it is tall. The higher the first number in this ratio is, the wider the screen will be.
As director Scott Derrickson explained to WIRED, taller frames can have a powerful impact when it comes to larger-than-life stories. “The extreme top and bottom of Imax theatrical creates an amazing visceral experience where the aesthetics of the frame are replaced by an image so vast that you are basically inside the frame. In my experience, this is exceptionally good for action and the only way I like to view 3D.
We all have subconscious associations with the movies we grew up watching that collectively make thingslike a movie. And ultrawide aspect ratios like 2.4:1 have been the almost exclusive domain of movies for decades. TVs eventually migrated to the now-common 1.77:1 standard, but if you remember watching anything that was ultrawide, it was probably a movie. So your brain starts to associate that shape with “cinema,” even from a very young age.
