Your frame posted is 1.85 letterboxed inside something like 1.60 : 1. 1.85 letterboxed inside 1.78 would look something like this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted March 14, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 14, 2021 There's no reason to love one rectangle but say the other doesn't work for composing in. If you ask most people to tell you the difference or identify the two formats, without a ruler, they would think they were more or less similar: If I posted a series of photos on Instagram and alternated between these two aspect ratios, almost no one would notice.

I meant I took a liking to 1.85 after maybe being too dogmatic about scope/anamorphic. As you said, the difference between 1.85/1.78 is nearly indistinguishable. That was just a screenshot, new laptop I don't remember where I put my color correction stills, so I did quick grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
