This class explores the concept of ratios in filmmaking, focusing on how different aspect ratios influence storytelling and viewer perception. By examining various formats, such as 4:3, 16:9, and cinematic widescreen, students will learn how the choice of ratio can affect composition, mood, and narrative pacing. Through practical exercises and analysis of iconic films, participants will discover how these technical decisions shape the emotional impact of a story, ultimately enhancing their ability to convey complex themes and engage audiences more effectively.
