Directing style
Brad Anderson constructs tense, lonely psychological spaces by favoring intimate medium shots and closeups captured at a level, eye-line perspective. He relies heavily on interior settings lit by practical fixtures, windows, and harsh fluorescents, utilizing a shallow depth of field to isolate characters within their environments. The visual atmosphere is defined by a predominantly cool, desaturated color grade dominated by slate grays, muted olives, and stark whites, punctuated by occasional warm, sickly yellows and deep blood reds.
