Hello I am about to shoot my final year diploma film on 35mm format using anamorphic lenses ( we have Kowas availiable in the institute). The film will be finished on a 2K DCP format through 2K 10bit dpx scans on a spirit. Most part of the film is to be fulfilled for 2.35:1 aspect ratio but there is some portions to be fulfilled for 1.37:1. I can use spherical lens for 1.37 output but then the visual texture of this portion of the film wont match the rest of the film which will be shot with the anamorphic lenses. So, is it possible to to shoot the entire film on anamorphic lenses and later crop from sides to achieve a 1.37 ratio. The only problem is to compose for 1.37 on an anamorphic lens. Has it been done earlier, if yes please do provide the references. The camera to be used for the production of the film is Arri 535B.
