Trivia:
Initially, director Terrence Malick and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki devised a series of photography rules that were to be used during filming. They were:
1) No artificial lights. Everything is shot in natural light.
2) No crane or dolly shots, just handheld or Steadicam shots.
3) Everything is shot in the subjective view.
4) All shots must be deep-focus, that is, everything (foreground and background) is visible and focused.
5) You (the camera crew) are encouraged to go and shoot unexpected things that might happen in accident or if your instinct tells you so.
6) Selective shots: any shot that does not have visual strength is not used.
According to Lubezki, many of these rules ended up being broken. Artificial light was used (see above), as were shallow-focus shots.
Terrence Malick was so particular on the film's authenticity that he told the actors to do as the characters would. On his breaks, Christian Bale would even sit in John Rolfe's chair and smoke a pipe, and Q'orianka Kilcher did Algonquian dances.
Christian Bale spoke in an interview about the eccentric directing styles of Terrence Malick. He said that he wanted to see what Malick would do if he just walked out of a shot and towards the crew. Malick followed Christian with the camera and, as Christian put it, "[the crew] were running, and they were diving behind bushes to get away from the camera."
Almost all the film's dialog was dubbed in post-production because Terrence Malick's voice was often heard at the background during takes.
