<P> Guadagnino shot the film in chronological order, which allowed the filmmakers to "witness the onscreen maturity of both protagonist and actor". The scene in which Mr. Perlman delivers an educational speech to Elio was filmed on the penultimate day of filming . Stuhlbarg spent months preparing for the scene, which Guadagnino wanted to make "as simple as possible" by taking fewer setups and "let the actors be". According to Fasano, the scene took three takes to film and Stuhlbarg was "on three different levels of getting emotional". </P> <P> During the dancing sequence, Hammer had to perform in front of 50 off - camera extras; the music was turned down so the dialogue could be recorded . "That was not fun, I don't really enjoy dancing", Hammer said . Choreographer Paolo Rocchi, who was contacted by the Frenesy Film Company in June 2016, described the routine "awkward and realistic". The filmmakers laid a long camera dolly track and filmed the scene in which Elio tells Oliver of his feelings for him in one take to provide the flexibility and the "flow of emotion" a cut scene could not . Chalamet was listening to "Visions of Gideon", one of the original songs written for the film, in an earpiece while filming the final sequence, in which the director asked him to perform for three variations--one per take . </P> <P> Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, who had previously collaborated with Guadagnino on Ferdinando Cito Filomarino's Antonia (2015), served as the director of photography . He read Aciman's novel before receiving the script and walked around filming locations to "get a feeling for everything...to see the color, to see how the light changed during the day, and input it into my data". He had to use artificial lighting to capture the Northern Italian summer atmosphere for Call Me by Your Name because of heavy rains that lasted the entirety of the shoot . He also empathized with the actors during the scene; Mukdeeprom cried in a corner of the room when they finished the first take of the confrontation between Oliver and Elio . The film was made using 35 mm film and a single lens, a decision influenced by the work of David Cronenberg to "solidif (y) the point of view" and make "the tension of the performance come off the screen". </P> <P> The main location set for the Perlmans' residence was Villa Albergoni, an uninhabited 17th - century mansion in Moscazzano . Guadagnino wanted to buy the house but could not afford it, so he made a film there instead . A landscape designer was hired to construct an orchard in the mansion's garden . A pergola was built on the patio, and apricot and peach trees were placed in the garden . </P>
