Summary -
Old American standard projection (pre-1952): 1.33:1 or 4:3
Today's HDTV standard format: 1.78:1 or 16:9
Prior to today's widescreen formats, however, in the mid '50s, 1.85:1 ratio was the standard widescreen format for projected feature projects. Today, the wider formats are still used in the Super 35, anamorphic, and 70mm shooting schemes.
General method to calculate a correctly proportioned frame: Figure out what size of paper will be used. Decide the height for the frame, then multiply it by the aspect ratio of your media. This method will give you a general storyboard dimension for the project.
