Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Filming with an anamorphic lens is the best choice for shooting extreme widescreen with film as it allows for a wider field of view and preserves the image quality without letterboxing or multiple cameras. Shooting with several cameras next to each other can result in inconsistencies and difficulties during post-production, while letterboxing out the top half of the image will result in a loss of image quality and resolution.
