Let\u2019s take a look at this trendy new appropriation of the classic 4:3 aspect ratio and explore whether it’s right for your projects.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we dive into exploring the 4:3 aspect ratio<\/a>, I do want to say this at the front. There\u2019s a reason why the majority of film and video projects don\u2019t use 4:3. We\u2019ll go over the history below, but suffice to say that 4:3 is less than ideal for most film and video use, as it’s rather limiting in the amount (as well as the style) of the relevant visual information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, we\u2019re also going to explore just why so many filmmakers have chosen to re-incorporate the 4:3 ratio<\/a> into their modern film projects, and why it works for them. You can debate whether you like these films or not, but the real question isn\u2019t about these filmmakers\u2019 decisions, it\u2019s about your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is the 4:3 aspect ratio? What are aspect ratios, in general? And, should you buck the norm, embrace the trend, and experiment with 4:3 in your projects? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s answer all those questions and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
