| Portion used |
Entire image (2.35:1 aspect ratio) to preserve the film's cinematography and avoid misrepresenting the work in any way or form. |
| Low resolution? |
Low: the video has been compressed and downscaled to 480 x 204 pixels, less than .1 megapixels in size for each frame, downgraded from the original resolution of anamorphic 853 x 480 pixels. Assuming a frame rate of 24p, the 27 seconds contained in this video contains roughly 648 frames out of a total of 159,840—.04 percent of the total motion picture. The file has been encoded three times and the video has been compressed to a bit rate of roughly 1 MBps, much less than the source file, as well as a reduction in audio bit rate. Copies made from this video will be inferior to the original DVD, preserving commercial opportunities, and unsuitable for illegal uses being such a small portion of the film. |
| Purpose of use |
To illustrate the design of the Borg queen, a key character from the film, and the integration of the Borg queen, which director Jonathan Frakes called the signature visual effect of the film.[1] The file aids commentary in showing how the effects artists eliminated the actress' lower body for the sequence and the prosthetic spine used. The video also provides a visual companion illustrating the Enterprise engineering section in its "Borgified" state, as well as the styles of lighting that cinematographer Matthew Leonetti used. The Queen herself and the acting are a significant focus of the article's reception section. |
| Replaceable? |
