The blocking (where and when characters move during a scene) is very important when Mr. Miller tells Cairo she needs to rewrite her paper. Mr. Miller's desk is raised on a small platform. A character's elevation above one or more characters is often used to indicate who has the power or who is "winning" a scene. At the start when Mr. Miller tells Cairo he won't accept the paper, he is up on the platform and Cairo is on the floor. Cairo soon challenges him and gets on the platform while the two debate their relationship. By the end of the scene, Cairo has "won" and is now standing above Mr. Miller who has stepped off the platform.
The film has a very small cast for a film that was released in theaters and widely acknowledged in the mainstream. There are 11 actors in the film, three of whom are extras.
Though they are typically known for writing, directing, and producing comedies, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are the first credited producers on the film.
There's a scene where the Cairo sweet is standing and Mr Jonathan in sitting in his desk at the classroom,the camera is wide shot where both characters are in frame, you could see that Cairo sweet looks unnatural and small. This is because she was digitally inserted into the scene and made smaller for symbolism.
The film was written, directed, edited, and scored by women.
