Collecting framing charts, along with archival assets, helps to match the original framing in the case of future remastering. Therefore, in each production’s delivery list, we request delivery of the framing charts. Ideally, we would receive both synthetic and captured physical framing charts, for each different camera setup.

In its core essence, a framing chart is a visual tool to communicate which area of the captured image is meant to end up on screen in the final product. This area is also commonly referred to as ‘active picture’. Below, we will outline how to fully utilize the framing chart and what to include in creating one.

We recommend creating a pixel-accurate digital framing chart (a.k.a. a synthetic chart), that can be printed onto large scale paper and shot by the camera during the technical camera test (a.k.a. a physical framing chart). Both the synthetic and the captured physical framing chart should be delivered to the dailies, editorial and DI departments as a reference to determine scaling and cropping of the captured image.

The ideal framing chart clearly shows the exact captured resolution and aspect ratio, as well as the intended active picture’s resolution and aspect ratio. This information will inform downstream teams how to map (crop and/or scale) the OCF (Original Camera Footage) the right way.

When you are shooting with anamorphic lenses, you will need two different types of framing charts. Because of the fact that the camera is capturing the real world but is storing that captured data in a horizontally squeezed image, you will need the following:
