On the Relation between the Shape of the Projected Picture, the Areas of Vision, and Cinematographic Technic

A shape of projected picture is suggested differing from the present one in respect of its conforming more nearly to the contours of the central and peripheral-vision areas of the eyes. In addition to the physiological advantages of such a shape, greater flexibility and effectiveness of artistic composition in cinematography and in projection would be achieved. The present shape limits the size of the photographic images and details of the picture, which would be considerably enhanced in the broader picture shape herein described. The possibility of cinematography of a type that would more nearly depict what the eye sees in real life is discussed.
