Shoot and protect is a technique used in video and film production, in which the material is shot in such a way that the areas of interest within a frame lie within a rectangular "protected area" within the frame, with margins at top and bottom and both sides.[1][2] The action safe and caption safe areas then lie within this protected area.[3] This allows the resulting material to be cropped to any of a wide range of aspect ratios, whether wider or narrower than the shooting format, without losing the most important features of each shot or having to resort to pan and scanorletterboxing. A 14:9 safe area is often chosen as a compromise between 4:3 and 16:9 frame formats.
