A very interesting (for me) archives film : La Grande Bretagne et les Etats-Unis de 1896 Ã 1900 (The Great Britain and the United States from 1896 to 1900). Early films from the United Kingdom (that included Ireland at that time) and the United States (and also Australia). The narration (in French) is instructive and well written.

Originally posted by Barry Webb View PostHi I've always wanted to know what is a flat prnt. .A simplified way of understanding the distinction between FLAT and SCOPE aspect ratios, has to do with their film projection roots. Historically, FLAT films were projected with spherical lenses while SCOPE films were intended to be projected with an anamorphic lens. While both are technically widescreen formats, SCOPE films could be projected considerably wider, filling an audience’s peripheral vision and making a film even more engrossing and larger-than-life. These aesthetic advantages can only be fully realized, however, with a screen optimized for SCOPE projection.
Digital cinema no longer uses anamorphic lenses except in very specific circumstances, but we still use FLAT and SCOPE terminology to distinguish optimal projection specs for each type of screen. Everything from construction of the theater to masking and automation ultimately get determined by this distinction.
