Sure. Action plan: Try to secure permission to shoot so there will be no drama or guerrilla pressures Go to the store in advance to listen to the sounds all around the place. Will you be able to shoot after hours and have liberties? If so, you can avoid sounds of other people shopping, and...

It is so with bit depth - where 8 bit is enough to appear natural in presentation, but in post 10 bit or higher makes a significant difference (banding). The main theoretical reason for 444 in post is keying greenscreen - but in practice the bayer sensor and olpf density (mtf contrast at 2k) can...
