One common theme for Quentin Tarantino films is to have a wide aspect ratio. This is because it is visually pleasing and gives it more of a film look.
It was quite time consuming adding the black bars because you have to change the offset on each clip so it does not cover anything you wanted in the shot, for example the top of someones head. I believe that it was worth adding the bars because it gives it more of a film look and made the framing tighter making it more intense.
One reason why we used the Edit Suite for this shot is because of the yellow walls. In many Tarantino films he uses yellows, one example is Uma Thurman's uniform in Kill Bill.
