Actually, most films do not have very much extra image area outside of the "Frame". I was a projectionist for over 10 years, and I can only think of 1 or 2 instances where there was more than a few percent extra image area. Most flat movies have black bars on the film just like a widescreen movie on a 4:3 tv. Scope movies are Anomorphic and the image fills the entire frame. Typically moving the frame up or down only 1-5% will make the frame line visible, and then the image will roll over to the top or bottom.
