Directing style
Cory Finley builds tension and a sense of isolation primarily through eye-level medium shots and closeups set within interior spaces. He favors a shallow depth of field to isolate characters, rendering backgrounds in a cool, desaturated palette defined by muted teals, slate grays, and clinical whites. The lighting relies heavily on cold fluorescent tubes, domestic practicals, and natural window light to maintain an unsettling, sterile atmosphere.
