In Reply to: "Full Frame" is sometimes interesting as widescreen" is from masked 4:3 original posted by Elizabeth on September 12, 2001 at 05:54:40:
Movies like 'Air Force One' and 'Terminator 2' were shot in what is called 'Super 35'. this film format shoots a standard 4:3 picture. When the film is edited, the top and bottom are masked on the final print, thus making a 'widescreen' version that you see at the theatre. If this of course is what the director intended, then are veiwing the widescreen version is no problem.However, with movies such as Air Force One, the pan and scan (4:3) version on the DVD and VHS is actually the full super 35 frame with no masking at the top and bottom! So there is actually more picture info there (although only the top and bottom as opposed to the sides being chopped off of a movie shot in widescreen and 'formatted to fit your TV' as the case may be.
I hope this hleps and doesn't confuse you even more! Of course, I've seen how boned up on your video stuff, so you mostlikely know this already!!!
