Directing style
Bertino builds tension and isolation by confining his characters to dark, nocturnal interiors, relying heavily on shallow depth of field to isolate subjects in closeups and medium shots. He lights these spaces primarily through practical fixtures and window light, rendering his scenes in a cool, desaturated color palette dominated by deep shadows, charcoal grays, and muted, earthy tones. The camera remains mostly at eye level, maintaining a direct, grounded perspective that heightens the ominous, claustrophobic atmosphere of his thrillers.
