- Filming must be done on location. Props and sets must not be brought in.
- The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa.
- The camera must be a hand-held camera. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted. The film must not take place where the camera is standing; filming must take place where the action takes place.
- The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable.
- Optical work and filters are forbidden.
- The film must not contain superficial action.
- Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden (that is to say that the film takes place here and now).
- Genre movies are not acceptable.
- The final picture must be transferred to the Academy 35mm, with an aspect ratio of 4:3, that is, not widescreen.
- The director must not be credited.
I think that Dogme and Italian Neorealism is very different because Italian Neorealism is based on society problems and it is usually in black and white; while Dogme movies have to have colours and the director must not be credited for the things. Italian Neorealism credits the director and uses a lot of props while Dogme 45 doesn't want to use props, but uses just natural stuff.
