I was very bored today so I created my own little example of widescreen vs. Pan & Scan. It's just a photo that I took and decided to tool around with (I don't have the equiptment to do screen captures of actual movies)
1. As the full (2.35) image would appear projected on a movie theater screen.
2.The image when visual information has been chopped
of the sides to fill a (1.33) TV screen which is more square
shapped than a rectangle movie theater screen.
3.The widescreen/letterboxed version, contains the
whole (2.35) image seen in the above theater screen
example. The black bars are not covering anything up,
they are just filling in dead space.
