Could you build this?
Partial The UI and settings are straightforward, but a convincing live-preview film look with grain and halation needs real-time GPU image processing on the camera feed, which requires graphics and performance expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version would use AVFoundation for camera capture and Metal shaders for real-time colour grading, grain, and halation, with a library for restyling imported photos. The hard part is achieving a smooth preview at camera frame rates across devices with a film-accurate look, which needs experience with GPU pipelines and iOS camera internals.
