Directing style

Forzani builds a claustrophobic, high-tension atmosphere within interior night settings by utilizing an extreme reliance on shallow-depth-of-field closeups shot from eye-level camera angles. The lighting design leans heavily on a mix of practical fixtures and direct sunlight to carve out stark contrasts, occasionally incorporating fluorescent and neon sources to punctuate the darkness. This tense, ominous mood is heightened by a color palette that juxtaposes deep, ink-like blacks and dark blues with striking accents of blood red, warm terracotta, and pale, desaturated flesh tones.
