For other scenes they will crop either the top or the bottom, or both, of the image to create the 16:9 ratio. They then use computer technology to enhance the film/video to maintain the quality of the final image.  A different approach will need to be taken for every camera angle so it's an expensive process.</p></blockquote><p></p>
