If the images and footage you have imported have higher dimensions than the 1080p sequence settings and subsequent output, you will have to scale the proportions.
Scale to frame size
The simplest way to do this is to select the footage in the Timeline and then right-click > Scale to Frame Size.
Scaling manually
Another option, when you have visual and compositional control, would be to go to the Editing Window, choose the Select Zoom Level pull-down menu and choose a size like 50%. Doing so will reveal the full video frame, with some extra. Double-click on the frame in the editing window. The action will reveal a bounding box. Along with pressing Shift on the keyboard, click-and-drag one of the corner handles of the frame. You can then scale down the image, proportionally.
