Re: What is the OAR for High School Musical 1 and 2?
[quote=Rolando]Actually Douglas if DVDtalk is right about the first part of the quote: "
Quote:
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.[/QUOTE]
then there is extra stuff on the sides that is cut off on the PAN and SCAN version as opposed to extra stuff revealed since hard matte means the "top and bottom" info on a 35mm print were never filmed on.

Well thats why I said IF the open matte was used for the full screen version. Shooting hard matte is actually pretty rare. Most films intended for theatrical distribution aren't shot hard matted much less a TV movie. I haven't actually seen High School Musical but I'm having a hard time believing that something that was always intended to be shown on the Disney Channel would be shot hard matted.
This would reduce their options in addition to reducing the image quality to virtually 16mm image area, if the 1.33 extraction area is with in the 1.85:1 hard matte. If this were shot in HD this would make since, but it is listed as having been shot in 35mm film. I guess if they are actually seeing extra image area on the sides in the HD footage thats on thing, but I find it very unlikely.
