- Watchmen (2009): Zack Snyder’s feature-length adaptation of the Alan Moore/David Gibbons graphic novel. The film released theatrically in a 2.39:1 widescreen aspect ratio; a Director’s Cut edition (longer runtime) was distributed on home video.
- Director’s Cut: Extended edition often restoring additional footage or alternate edits; for Watchmen, the Director’s Cut added approximately 24 minutes of footage and included alternate scenes.
- Open matte: A transfer method where the full-frame camera negative or intermediate (often 1.37:1 or 1.78:1 area) is revealed rather than the intended theatrical matting, producing taller image height than theatrical widescreen crops. Open-matte may expose areas originally masked for theatrical presentation (headroom, boom microphones, etc.), and is different from pan-and-scan or pillarbox methods.
- 1080p: High-definition 1920×1080 progressive resolution.
- Top crop/top alignment: When an image intended for a wider aspect is opened to reveal more vertical information but then cropped or aligned such that the revealed extra area comes from the top of the frame rather than evenly or from the bottom; the composition’s vertical balance shifts downward in the visible frame.
Open Matte versions exist only as fan projects (e.g., hybrid releases from HDTV broadcasts of the theatrical cut, or AI/software-based reframing).
