IIRC, yes to all.

Not totally sure re aspect, and I dont think it would be strictly defined as over
exposed, but mine has quite low saturation and high grain, a bit like some parts of
Band of Brothers. Gives a feel of oversaturation, but more so : immediacy and a lot
of the action feels like its hand held stuff.
