Reduction print

Reduction print

A reduction print is a print of a large-size format film converted to a smaller size format (for example, a 70mm print converted to 35mm). Often this is necessary because not all theatres have a screen the required size needed to show a film in large format. [http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/] This is especially true of some screens in multiplex theatres. In former days, it was true of the neighborhood theatres located outside of downtown areas.

Conversely, a "blow-up print" is a regular format film converted to larger size (i.e., 35mm to 70mm). This was once often done so that "regular-sized" film would seem even more impressive on screens such as the ones in Cinerama theatres. [http://www.in70mm.com/library/blow_up/index.htm]
