SFX Secrets: The Power of Aspect Ratios

What is the shape of the frame of your favorite film? It may seem like a funny question, but aspect ratios are perhaps one of cinema’s most important but least recognized or understood technologies.

This video examines the ways that frame size and changes have been used expressively, innovatively, traditionally, and even humorously to add extra context to their content. You’ll never look at the movies the same way again!
