Click to view video File: Camel 16:9 commercial Project: Redesigning a widescreen video for a 4:3 ratio screen Task for StudioVox: Graphic concept, video compression Comment: If a movie is to be used both in cinemas and on TV networks (or computer screens), it should in principle be shot both in widescreen and in 4:3 size ratios respectively. But sometimes this cannot be, as it would have a huge impact on the budget. When viewed on a 4:3 screen, a widescreen movie always results in a compromise. - The "letterbox" solution displays a horizontal black bar above and below the image. This wasted space can occupy up to 50% of the total space! - The "full frame" option discards the left and right sections of the movie, and creates a 4:3 image with the remainder. The loss of information may totally jeopardise the understanding of the product! The example shown here preserves the entirety of the original movie AND makes use of the extra space (the black bars), instead of wasting it. We can offer you hundreds of ways to "dress up" the available portion of the movie frame. You will maximise the impact of your commercials and make full use of costly advertising space.
