My creative quandary is I've shot a very wide subject, no way to fill the 16:9 frame. Think lots of distracting nothingness top and bottom of the frame. So I'm thinking to letterbox this in the 16:9 frame, maybe 2.35:1. Any thoughts on this?
Now here's where it gets messy. The closeups of the talent DO fill the frame but would probably look better in 4:3. So I'm thinking to pillarbox them into the 16:9 frame.
Any thoughts on the whole split screen thing and mixing up ARs in general. I've seen it done ( whole recent movie was done this way) and think it can be quite effective or is it all just too much?
Bob.
