Kyran Wright researched conventions of short films by watching many examples on YouTube. Most used basic equipment with few locations and fell into drama genres for niche audiences. Voiceovers often provided context. For their film, Wright challenged conventions by using music instead of dialogue to portray mental disorders, with changing music styles to represent each one. Camera work focused on close-ups of emotion rather than complex shots. Editing used invisible transitions to seem professional. The film featured multiple characters rather than the typical 2-3 and sought to educate rather than solely entertain audiences.
