Re: What is the OAR for High School Musical 1 and 2?

Despite being filmed in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio, both the original and Remix Edition DVD releases featured a 1.33:1 "full screen" version (though not pan and scan as the camera stays directly in the center of the image), the format of the film as shown on the Disney Channel. The widescreen and high definition versions have subsequently been showing in the UK on BBC One, BBC Two, and BBC HD.

(A note on that aspect ratio: the film was shot in a 1.85:1 format, as evident in footage seen in the disc's making-of, which features clips from the movie in hard-matted widescreen. However, it was broadcast in a pan-and-scanned 1.33:1 ratio, the same ratio seen here on the DVD. Not one single shot of this cropped image seems to be missing any information - in fact, it looks to be framed quite well in 1.33:1. So well, in fact, that I would assume the movie was intended for the standard broadcast ratio, but was filmed with some extra padding on the sides, a little bit of spare image that could be included in any future high definition broadcasts/video releases. Disney's choice to release this with only a full screen option should therefore not be viewed as a slight at all.)

Essentially, it's your choice. |
