Chapter 4 Summary:

Talks about different aspect rations of film and TV.

TV + Computer - 1:1.33
Europe + 16mm- 1:1.66
US Standard (post 1950)- 1:1.85
Widescreen + 70 mm- 1:2.35

The idea of using the golden rectangle for shots became less used after widescreen became more popular. Goes over letterboxing which is putting black lines to create an artificial widescreen look , often for done for tv shows. Also goes over pan and scan which is cutting sections of imagry and plugging them into the target ratio. Also goes over framing examples showing cut out of frames to show differences in aspect ratios.
