1. Using silence and negative space to create a realistic space and tension between cinema and life.
2. Folding reference points into the fabric of the narrative, scribbling outside the lines drawn by genre and convention. Cinematic and actual history are equally important.
3. The fourth wall is broken whenever the filmmaker sees fit, drawing attention to the filmmaking process through extra-narrative means. No technique is too outlandish to try once.
4. Technical largesse wrapped in a reserved tone. Big emotions hidden in cold grey atmosphere and vice versa.

6. In general, there should be an analog to a post-punk band or album. Echo & The Bunnymen, Joy Division, The Fall, Gang of Four, etc. Note that these bands evolved. Similiarites in tone, simplicity, production and arrangement between "Crocodiles," "Unknown Pleasures," "Live At The Witch Trials," "Entertainment!" are the first flowering of diverse bands. "Porcupine" and "Songs of The Free" have next to nothing in common, and yet both are post-punk lynchpins. Similarly, a band like Wire, which started in a straighter punk vein would become post-punk by the time "Chairs Missing" was released.
