Some of the guidelines established before shooting the film are (except photo studio scene):
1- the whole story must be shot on super 16mm film, for the organic feel that the high speed film displays.
2- all the lighting in the film must be natural/practical lighting. Even if the film was to be underexposed
3- the film has to be shot mostly hand held. No dollies or tripods
4-Yellow is the primary color of the film, introducing it in every shot through either the production design, costume or lighting.
5- No use of any long lenses, keeping most of the film to be shot on wide angle lenses only.
6- the film is to be shot mostly with only high-speed film stocks (500 ASA)
