Italian neorealism films are filmed using grainy
film stock. This is more economical to use at that time.
Moreover, fast film
stock is used to produce this kind of newsreel look as it suitable for shooting
in low light and for recording fast moving objects. Italian Neorealist
filmmakers like to shot using fast film stock because the grainy and gritty
look gives their film a documentary feel which show to the audience that the
events happened in the film are real.
For instance, in Bicycle Thieves (Vittoria De Sica, 1948), the whole film is in
gritty look, it gives the audience a sense of realism that at that time in
Italy, those people are really in poverty and they are all desperately in need
of a job.
