Directing style
Franklin grounds his crime thrillers in a naturalistic, eye-level perspective, favoring medium and wide shots that preserve the physical relationship between characters and their environments. He builds a tense, ominous atmosphere by setting scenes primarily at night and in shallow-focus interiors, relying on motivated light sources like practical lamps, windows, and streetlights to pierce the darkness. The visual palette is defined by earthy, shadowed tones of deep amber, warm brown, and muted clay, contrasted against cold, desaturated blues and slate grays.
