Digital cameras 101

[jmetzel]

Hi

I am about to go digital making ads for theatre distribution. I own a Fuji FinePix E550  camera that has lots of bells and whistles but ...I need to crop my images to the theatre aspect radio of 1 to 1.85. I have been advised to conform to 1660 x 8.80  Is this a pixel ratio?  What software do I need to do creative use of the medium and where do I find companies that covert digital pix and sound to 35mm motion picture film? . Is there a beginning version of Photoshop and AfterEffects ?
