<strong>FILM</strong> <strong>TYPES</strong> <strong>AND</strong> <strong>FORMATS</strong><br />
VISTAVISION (8-Perf)<br />
VISTAVISION is a 35 mm horizontal format with an eight-perforation pull down (across), which was typically<br />
used with high quality background plates in special eects work. The camera aperture is approximately 1.5:1 (37.7<br />
x 25.2 mm).<br />
Hard matte<br />
The 2.40:1 frame is outlined in blue above but the VISTAVISION<br />
format is primarily used for special eects and not entire films.<br />
A hard matte can be used in the camera or applied when printing optically or outputting digitally. It<br />
will mask the image area that is not being used.
