There's a lot about the CCTV effect we'll want to adjust and decide already in preprod, such as frame rate (CCTV cameras have that signature blocky movement; but I don't think it's as strong on buses and it also wouldn't look very nice if it was), whether we have faint lines overlaid on top of the picture all the time or just when the footage goes wibbly, how often the footage goes wibbly (only when cutting or some general wibbliness here and there), graininess, and colour correcting.
