The aspect ratio of a film is essentially the ‘shape’ that the film is shown in, a specification which varies from film to film. Films made prior to 1954 were generally filmed in Academy standard ratio, which is about 1.37 to 1 (roughly similar to a standard television screen) other formats are generally “wider” including 1.66 to 1 (VistaVision), 2.35:1 (CinemaScope) and others.

Standard television sets have a ratio of roughly 4:3, whereas most films seen in the cinema are much wider. Therefore, in order to view a film in its correct aspect ratio on a standard television, a compromise must be made. To do this, the picture is reduced in size and black bars appear at the top and bottom of the screen.

Anamorphic widescreen is designed to provide a higher definition image in a widescreen format. Looking closely at your television you might spot that the image consists of hundreds of horizontal lines which, when viewed from a more sensible distance form an image. Discs formatted anamorphically (or labelled ‘enhanced for widescreen televisions’) essentially are made up of more of these ‘lines’, resulting in a sharper image on widescreen televisions. Anamorphic films will work normally on standard televisions, although they will not benefit from the enhancement.
