Film Tech: The History of Aspect Ratios
I usually don’t post many videos here, but this one is an exception: John Hess from the amazing website Filmmaker IQ talks the viewer through the History of Aspect Ratios from the beginning to end. It’s actually the first of a two-part course called Everything you need to know about Aspect Ratios, the second video is called Composition Techniques for Widescreen Aspect Ratios. This ties in wonderfully to the Film Format Guide and should be required viewing for everyone interested in how movies are made.
