The story was co-written by Lynch and Barry Gifford and the script left the visual direction open to refinement as filming progressed. Lynch believed that every sound integrated into the film had to support the scene it accompanied, and Lynch carefully used sound and music to transform the physical space used on the screen. Together with cinematographer Peter Deming, the goal of creating a surreal experience was achieved through a variety of camera and sound techniques.
