		This is referred to as "matchboxing" and is generally disliked because it wastes a lot of screen space and reduces the resolution of the original image.

		This way of speaking comes about because the width of a film image is restricted by the presence of sprocket holes and a standard intermittent movement interval of 4 perforations, as well as an optical soundtrack running down the projection print between the image and the perforations on one side.
