For much of the 20th century, 35mm was used for production, editing, distribution, and projection. In its most typical iteration, each frame is four perforations in height. It can accommodate multiple [[aspect ratio|aspect ratios]] when used in conjunction with different [[lens|lenses}} and [[aperture plate|aperture plates]]: 1.33:1, 1.37:1, 1.66:1, 1.85:1, and 2.35:1.

There are other variants, including [[VistaVision]] (eight perforations per frame, running horizontally), [[dual-strip]] polarized [[3-D]] (two 35mm prints running on two projectors, interlocked), Techniscope (two-perf negative, optically printed to four-perf Cinemascope), Super 35 (three-perf negative, printed to four-perf print with an [[anamorphic]] squeeze or a [[hard matte]]).
