The screen ratio is learned! The sense of time brought by frame ratio is not that simple.

If you have seen the film "The Grand Budapest Hotel" directed by wes anderson, you will be attracted by its unique artistic techniques.

In movies, directors will use different frames to express their stories in different years. For example, in the 193s, the ratio of frames was 1.33:1, in the 196s, it was 1.85:1, and in the 198s, it was 2.35:1.

the change of the frame can not only make the audience feel the change of the story's time, but also make the movie picture more dynamic, which complements the distinctive art design.

In the movie mountains may depart, Jia Zhangke also used three kinds of frames to describe the stories of yesterday, today and tomorrow, which was also well received by the audience.

frame ratio refers to the Aspect Ratio of the length and width of an image, which is generally expressed by "X:Y". For example, the ratio of 4:3 (or 1.33:1) means that the width of the picture is 4 units and the height is 3 units.

The most important thing to choose the frame ratio is to consider where your work is played. For example, at first, the screen of the TV set was 4:3, so the TV series at that time was basically shot in 4:3 frame.

In addition, there are many works that help composition by changing the frame. For example, the TV series "Tiansheng Long Song" uses the 2.35:1 frame commonly used in this movie, while "Big Rivers" uses the 2.66:1 "deformed widescreen lens" to shoot.

4:3

In the early days of film development, the standard size of film was 4:3, which was in line with the "golden section" ratio and the visual effect was better. Many paintings also adopt this ratio.

The birth of this ratio has something to do with Edison. In the film age, william dickson, a photographer in Edison Lab, used 35mm film to set an image with a hole height of 4 feet, and the aspect ratio of the image was 4:3.

in 199, the film patent company controlled by Edison announced that the frame ratio of 4:3 would be the standard for all American films in the future. Later TV programs and early computer screens also followed the classic ratio of 4:3.

Similar to the ratio of 4:3, the frame ratio is 1.37:1. At that time, due to the invention of sound film, it was necessary to record the audio track on one side of the film, which changed the aspect ratio to some extent, and this ratio was also called academic frame.

16:9

16:9 is the international standard for HDTV. At that time, the resolution of HDTV or network video was mostly 192×18.

this frame ratio is between 4:3 and 2.35:1, and basically all the films can be displayed well, so it soon became the default frame ratio when the film and television works were released on DVD and Blu-ray disc.

Now, 16:9 has also become the preferred format for streaming video, so you can get a more comfortable viewing experience whether you watch the video on your computer or HDTV.

2.35:1

2.35:1 is actually a ratio of 4:3 to the third power, and this frame ratio can obtain a wider horizontal field of vision.

Wide-screen format was born in the 194s. At that time, in order to compete with TV sets, cinemas introduced wide-format movies one after another. This format can get a wider field of vision, which is closer to the usual field of vision of human eyes, and it is easy to get a sense of immersion when watching in cinemas.

in addition to the standard frame ratio of 2.35:1, some directors will choose special frame ratios such as 2:1 and 2.75:1 to shoot.

Because of the screen size, playing software, playing platform and other reasons, the camera frame and screen frame are often different, so it is necessary to cut the screen later, and the director and producer will start to pay attention to whether the center of the screen is within a safe distance at the production stage.

when you use the trial film of Anjiexiu, you can see the safe distance at different video scales (2.35:1, 1.85:1, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1) by opening the mask of safe margin.

In addition, the online film review function of Anjiexiu Media Resource Module can also compare and review films between different versions, annotate pictures, give instant online feedback, etc., so as to help the creative team and producers improve communication efficiency and save communication costs.
