7、d ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technica
8、l committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of ele
9、ctrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to th
10、e member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held respo
11、nsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 2907 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 36, Cinematography. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 2907:1984), which has been technically revised. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 2907:2002(E) ISO 2002 All rights re
12、served 1Cinematography Maximum projectable image area on 35 mm motion-picture film Position and dimensions 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the maximum dimensions of the film image area intended for projection from a 35 mm motion-picture film and the position of this area relative to th
13、e perforations and the reference edge of the film. This International Standard specifies three types of image areas intended for theatrical projection (see A.4 in informative annex A): Style A: general theatrical release prints commonly referred to as non-anamorphic or wide screen; Style B: theatric
14、al release prints with an anamorphic image; Style C: classic theatrical prints. 2 Position and dimensions of image area The dimensions shall be positioned as shown in Figure 1, and as specified in Table 1. NOTE 1 Dimensions B, D, and E define the image area on the film that is available for projecti
15、on. They do not define the opening in the projection-aperture plate. The size of this opening may differ from dimensions A and B, for example, because of the physical separation necessary between the aperture plate and the film to avoid scratching the film, the slant of the marginal rays accepted by
16、 the projection lens, etc. NOTE 2 It is recognized that, in many cases, the actual film image area that is projected may be smaller than the projectable maximum and, in some cases, may be non-rectangular (for example, an irregular four-sided figure bound by either straight or curved lines). Such dep
17、artures may result from the following: equipment considerations, such as slight inconsistencies among lenses, screen sizes, etc.; geometric limitations, such as the screen surface being at an angle other than 90 from the projection axis, or being non- planar or both; aesthetic considerations, such a
18、s pictorial composition within more restrictive image limits. In the absence of specific instructions to the contrary, it is intended that the actual projected film image area be the largest appropriately shaped figure that can be inscribed within the specified dimensions.

22、ing of suitable mechanical embodiments related to the projectable image area. Note that the centreline of the projectable image area is displaced from the centreline of the film by 1,27 mm (0,050 in) nominal. A.2 Related International Standards ISO 23 and ISO 2906 define image areas for other import
23、ant phases of motion-picture operations and are consistent with this International Standard and with one another under currently acceptable commercial practices. A.3 Image area for television It is recognized that home television receivers are adjusted to show a distribution of picture sizes ranging
24、 downward from the maximum. Guides to picture composition, based upon a statistical survey of receivers in use, are presented in SMPTE RP 27.3. Note that a certain portion of the audience will see the entire transmitted area, but for certainty in presentation of critical information over broadcast t
25、elevision, such information should be confined to a smaller, central area. A.4 Typical aspect ratios for non-anamorphic theatrical projection For aesthetic and practical reasons, theatrical projection may present 35 mm images in such a manner that the full width of the projectable area is shown but
26、the projected height is less than maximum. Photography designed primarily for theatrical exhibition recognizes this and is composed for the more elongated rectangles. Several aspect ratios for the final projected picture are recognized through usage. To help ensure correct vertical centring (framing
27、) of the projected image, hard-matte printing may be used in producing the duplicate negative used for release printing of theatrical prints. A hard matte with an image height of at least 12,83 mm (0,505 in) may be used for all style A aspect ratios (1,66:1 or greater). Note that prints intended for
28、 a style C aspect ratio (1,37:1) will normally have an image height of at least 16,00 mm (0,630 in) as specified in ISO 2906. In all cases, the frame lines on the print shall essentially be opaque. It is recommended that pictures designed to be shown at aspect ratios other than those specified in th
29、is International Standard be so marked in a conspicuous manner. The leader (described in ISO 4241) provides for aspect-ratio identification on frames 29-30.

A.5 Image area on original negative The use of camera-aperture dimensions other than those stated in ISO 2906 is disco
31、uraged. Film users are reminded that many features composed for wide-screen aspect ratio will be shown later on television. Use of a hard matte in the camera will require substantial cropping of the film horizontally when the film is transferred to television, and severely limits the use of a print
32、made from the negative. Good practice dictates using the 1,37:1 style A camera aperture given in ISO 2906, while composing for the desired theatrical-projection aspect ratio. Care should be taken to exclude extraneous items or action from the photographed image area which may show in the television
33、scanned area. A.6 Image steadiness The image steadiness can be improved if the reference edge is also the guided edge.
