1. Does "the resulting film" here mean specifically Manu Luksch's film or generally any CCTV video?
2. Does "make a feature of" mean "it is one of the properties of such films"?
Sean Dodson gives an example of the approach as carried out by the director Manu Luksch. Over a period of four long years he ‘spent hours performing on London streets beneath the glare of CCTV cameras and then going through the protracted process of making formal requests to retrieve the images from the camera’s owners. When the tapes arrive, the faces of the other passers-by are blanked out in order to protect their identities’. The resulting film makes a deliberate feature of these ominously blanked out identities that appear as characters with black cuboid heads.
