3. The third option is to set the aspect-ratio of the TV to Panorama or Theatre-
Wide. The black bars will be gone, and the image will stretch to fill the screen.
It will look distorted at the extreme left and right but properly proportioned
near the centre. Movies letterboxed for 4:3 TVs will show black bars on all sides
when displayed on wide-screen TVs. This is another case where the Zoom
function should be applied.
Finally, even wide-screen TVs will show letterbox bars when displaying movies filmed
in ultra-wide-screen formats such as Cinemascope. The Zoom control of the TV
remote will eliminate the bars, but it will result in a softer, blurrier image and crop out
any action on the extreme left and right of the screen.
9. PAN AND SCAN:
This is another method of adjusting widescreen film images so that they can be shown
within the proportions of a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio television screen,
often cropping off the sides of the original widescreen image to focus on the
composition's most important aspects. Pan and scan cropping can remove up to 45%
(on 2.35:1 films) of the original image,
