What aspect ratio should I be shooting in?

What is the difference between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio?
The 16:9 aspect ratio creates a frame that’s 78% wider than it is tall. The 4:3 aspect ratio, on the other hand, creates a frame that’s 33% wider than it is tall. The difference between these two aspect ratios is that 16:9 records more information horizontally, while 4:3 records more vertically.

What was once the standard aspect ratio of motion picture film, began to fizzle out as early as the 1950’s when various widescreen formats were introduced, such as cinemascope. But even as film moved away from 4:3, television still hung on to the aging format long after.
What does the aspect ratio of a film Mean?
Aspect ratio is the ratio between an image’s width and height, and it dictates the shape of a photograph or film frame. It is why some films look like a square (4:3), why some look more like a rectangle (16:9), and why in the future more films will look like they were made by and for iPhones (9:16).
Why is a 2.35 aspect ratio better than a 4?
A normal closeup at 2.35 is going to leave a lot of empty/negative space on the opposite side of the frame. This could of course be an excellent artistic choice for a specific project, but it won’t highlight the actor’s micro-expressions the same way a 4:3 frame will.
Is the 4 : 3 aspect ratio still taboo?
Not a chance… 4:3 is definitely having a moment right now, but it still only accounts for a small fraction of the films made today. Even still, I’m happy it’s no longer being seen as taboo, and is yet another creative tool filmmakers feel comfortable pulling out of the toolbox.
