Oh good, another video essay! This one is my first, about the wild world of cinematic ASPECT RATIOS.
I'm planning on making more of these, so comment below what works for you about this video, and where you think I could improve. These videos will be a learning process for me, and I'm always looking to get better.
EDIT: This video assumes most of your film watching takes place on a 16x9 screen. In a theatre, a wider aspect ratio is genuinely wider, with more horizontal width, and taller ratios do not actually give you a picture with more vertical height.
