Can't believe I missed this thread.
I agree with El Symbols re you needing a crew and in that sense, you really needn't worry about those technical issues too much. Just get people in who do know them. Film students will usually offer their help for little more than the promise of a credit. It's obviously a good idea to have some kind of grasp of certain techniques but only enough to have a way of conceptualising what you want for yourself and so you can communicate it to your crew. Echoing symbol's point, unless you want the style to be an integral part of the whole thing it should be as anonymous as possible, which isn't difficult to achieve and likely won't cost you any more than you're already spending. You just need to get the right people in and let them contribute what they're good at so you can concentrate on what you're good at, while learning off them at the same time. Look at a lot of the porn being produced at the moment. That stuff's largely done with tiny budgets and a minimal crew but still manages to churn out some really quite professional looking stuff. (I'm convinced film students these days would be far better served watching less Bergman and more BangBros.)
