Jack Daniel Stanley said:yeah the grain was not so much a "lets make this part grainy" as lets focus on the intimacy and getting that feeling and if that means using less light for either feel or moving quickly or to capture a natural feeling then so be it. If that means throwing on the gain switch at +6 so be it. We decided before we set out that that would all be part of the look. The slightly less pretentious answer is that we knew we'd have to move fast and guerilla style and decided to embrace that as part of the aesthetic..
I think a little bit of grain is a good thing. My two cinematography faves (this one and Not The Same) both embraced it. I'm trying to do the same thing on my recent projects. As a group, we have the DOF thing licked pretty good now. But we need to put texture back in the image.
