4:3 – is the ration for an old fashioned TV, nearly in the size of a square
16:9 – a wide screen TV which gives the viewer a better experience and viewing of the film/program you are watching
Pan and Scan: Pan and scan is when they cut/crop the size of the picture the audience can see, so that it will fit to a 4:3 screen. However many producers say that by doing this, it is losing the emotion and essence of the shot.
Most films are now filmed using wide screen and very rarely fitting to a 4:3 screen.

Pillar boxing: when you fit a 4:3 image onto a 16:9 TV and you are left with two pillow shapes either side of the image to stop it enlarging.
Letter boxing: when you fit a 16:9 image onto a 4:3 TV and you are left with two stripes at the top and bottom on the shot.
