What I mean, when you watch a movie nowadays, directors always seem to want to shoot in aspect ratios that have already been created. It's usually either 1.85:1 or 2.39:1, but some director's prefer to shoot in 2.76:1 like for The Hateful Eight or Rogue One, or one director chose to go back to 2.20:1 for Tomorrowland.
These aspect ratios were already created for movies of the past, going back to the 60s. But why do directors still follow those same aspect ratios, when they can just make up their own to shoot in, whatever they think is best to tell their story?
Why are they still choosing to shoot in traditional ones all the time?
