Why did we add (Black bars) to our video?

When i'm referring to the black bars I specifically mean this:

With

Without

When we were finishing the editing of the video I decided that the video would look much more cinematic with the addition of black bars. As a result I believe it has successfully made the video look more cinematic. 

The idea of adding black bars is wrong and in reality all I am doing is recreating a characteristic that comes with anamorphic lenses, examples of some anamorphic footage from popular films which have used anamorphic lenses:

 Still frame from Interstellar (All shot on anamorphic lenses and film)

Frame from Silence (2016) Anamorphic lenses used for the entire film and shot on 35mm film

Frame from Silence (2016) Anamorphic lenses used for the entire film and shot on 35mm film

The anamorphic lenses shoot such a wide FOV (field of view) that the black bars are formed when the image is shown on a 16:9 (common display aspect ratio). Some of the examples given were shot on 35mm film and this does add to the FOV of the frame (Eg. Hateful Eight was shot on 65mm film which is one of the widest formats of film giving a very wide frame) however digitally shot films also use anamorphic lenses. 

Films and music videos have been shot on anamorphic lenses for such a long time that the viewer is used to seeing black bars on the frame, this why we are to get away with making attempts at trying to recreate anamorphic footage and the audience doesn't question why they are there.

By adding black bars to our music video it is us trying to recreate that cinematic effect that anamorphic lenses are able to create. In the end it does add to the video and I feel it has to some degree given us a slight look of anamorphic footage, which is the main goal of adding in black bars.
