standard sound aperture (reduced frame) |
Used for non-wide-screen formats. Includes all standard sound 35 mm., 16 mm., and super 8 mm. film. Should be used even for silent films in which a space has been left for the inclusion of a sound track, i.e., where a full frame silent picture has been cropped to allow space for a sound track. |

nonanamorphic (wide-screen) |
Nonanamorphic wide-screen process is primarily associated with 35 mm. and larger film gauges where the image on the film is natural (not optically compressed) and of smaller frame height, which is expanded by projection on a wide screen through the use of normal lenses and the appropriate aperture plate to give the required aspect ratio. |

3D |
Films which achieve a three-dimensional effect originally through the use of two projectors which superimpose two images of the film on the screen (usually a wide screen). It is usually associated with 35 mm. film. Polarized lenses worn by viewers help to create the impression of depth and dimension. |

anamorphic (wide-screen) |
Films which achieve the wide-screen effect through the use of an image which is optically compressed or squeezed horizontally. It is then expanded to the correct proportions by projection on a wide screen with the use of special lenses that give greater magnification laterally than vertically. |

other wide-screen format |
Includes Cinerama, Viterama, Cinemiracle, Circarama and other formats that achieve a wide-screen effect though the use of simultaneous projection of separate prints on very large, sometimes deeply curved screens through the use of multiprojectors that build up the projected picture by a series of images, generally side-by-side. |
