I've seen these cameras on behind-the-scenes type docu before, but why don't the filmmakers just use all of the frame?
I know lots of people are saying how 4:3 cuts out heaps of important stuff, but if the director just used the whole frame to begin with, wouldn't it make the whole screen ratio issue irrelevant?
