Ok so we have seen a Film on DVD or Blu-Ray, we've streamed a film and played it on our Tablets PCs or phones...
What I am interested in knowing is, has there been any goofs that have been seen on a Cinema shot that doesn't get seen on the Home played format.
Ive heard as an example on one of the Transformers Films there's a battle scene with Bumble Bee, Optimus Prime and an enemy, which on the right hand side of the screen. A building callapses before impact is made. It's apparently so obvious, but on the DVD you don't see it as it's outside of the spectrum.
Has anyone else known anything else.
Also OT question:
In the UK, our TV channel, Channel 5 showed The Matrix (First Film) does anyone know why in the Agent Smith Vs Morpheus Scene (Bathroom Fight) it's seen that there is a Headbutt between them, however it's not on the DVD version, nor do I remember it on in the Cinema. Was it filmed just for Channel 5? As ITV doesn't have it too!

One example I know of is in Revenge of the Nerds in one of the car scenes near the beginning where Gilbert and Lewis are heading to school, beside the disappearing/reappearing luggage rack on the roof, a Boom mic can be seen at the top of the screen, I think there was also a boom mic sighting with the scene where they return to their frat house to find it trashed. I recall seeing the boom mike while watching a reel-to-reel viewing of the movie at college. They used to have movie nights on certain Friday's and had one of those stereotypical film projectors. The VHS versions and I think early DVD editions DO NOT have the Boom Mic during those or any scenes that I can recall. Been ages since I've seen the film in any format.
I recall being told one time that things like visible boom mics and other at the edge of the frame mistakes are due to how the film frame was threaded into the projector, and that on TV and in home VHS/DVD releases the framing is better maintained.

In my experience one most often sees more in home video versions or 16mm college showings than in a cinema for for films shot spherically (non-anamorphic) since cinemas have aperture plates that crop at 1.66 to 1.85 to 1 whereas home video and 16mm is at 1.37 to 1. Many films shot full aperture are at 1.37 to 1 with the intent that they will be shown cropped, so unintended boom mics etc. are in shots since more is at the top and bottom of frames than one sees in the cinema. Just the reverse occurs with anamorphic (scope) films where more is often shown on the sides in a cinema. |

So is should be more evident on DVD Blu-Ray them Cinema? Before flat screen TVs that would be the case, since formatting for the 1.33 aspect ratio tended to show more of the area top and bottom. For instance in "Peewee's Big Adventure" he pulls a chain from a bicycle saddle bad that seems endless and would never fit. In the full frame home video version you can see the chain being fed from underneath...never showed in the cinema. Now the aspect ratio is about the same. |
