If | If Scope, Movietone, full aperture, or 70mm films are projected slightly out of frame, if the projectors' aperture plates are overcut, or if a film has sloppily made negative splices, white flashes will appear at the top and/or bottom of the frame at every shot change (sometimes several dozen times over the course of a reel!). Care must be taken to monitor framing closely, as the exact location of these splices can change from reel to reel depending on how the film was printed. | ||
The standard aspect ratio for scope films was eventually changed from 2.35:1 to 2.39:1 to account for thicker splices, which is helpful but does not fully eliminate the problem. | The standard aspect ratio for scope films was eventually changed from 2.35:1 to 2.39:1 to account for thicker splices, which is helpful but does not fully eliminate the problem. | ||
