Harry Potter 哈利波特 寬螢幕版 vs 全螢幕版...

大家好像對 R3 Harry Potter 哈利波特 是 全螢幕版 非常的不滿意 ..
但根據下面這位有心人的比較報告, 寬螢幕版本和全螢幕版本事實上是各有千秋...
有些地方甚至全螢幕版看的出來有比寬螢幕版好上一截, 其他地方反而比較難看出寬螢幕版比全螢幕版好在哪裡...

看個人喜好囉...

Which is better? The "widescreen" or "standard" version of HP and The Philosopher's Stone on DVD? Make your own mind up from the pictures below.

This page is not designed for film technology buffs (but a few might be interested in what's here), so I won't blind anyone with technical jargon. Suffice to say that when a film is made, the camera captures more on film than will be seen either on the cinema or TV screen. The director and editor then select what area of which frame will actually be displayed. If want a technical explanation of the process, see the Letterbox and Widescreen Advocacy site.

The pictures on this page show what parts were selected both for the widescreen and "full screen" DVD releases. The yellow boxes show the "standard edition", and the white boxes the widescreen picture. Note: these are not approximations - these are actual captures from the two versions which have been superimposed on each other. They have not been changed other than to compensate for the distortion of the anamorphic transfer, and a few of the darker pictures have been contrast-enhanced.

I've always been a fan of widescreen releases, and it pains me to have to admit that, in my opinion, with just a few exceptions, Chris Columbus and his crew persisently (though regrettably, not consistently!) compose the picture for the standard 4:3 proportions of a TV screen, rather than the 2.35:1 scope of the wide cinema screen. As a result, on the basis of image composition alone, it is very difficult to recommend one version over the other.

I've chosen 20 pictures from scenes showing the greatest differences in image composition, ten of which I think look better in widescreen format, and ten in the standard TV format. I should add, though, that it was a LOT easier to find 4:3 pictures better than the widescreen ones, although a couple of the later widescreen ones are quite stunning! Decide for yourself which are which. They're displayed in the order in which they appear in the film, and a comment box should tell you (in Hours:Minutes:Seconds) where the scene is. If you click on the picture, a larger copy will open in a new browser window.
