Directing style
Bousman’s cinematography constructs a tense, oppressive atmosphere by confining the action to dark, night-time interiors lit primarily by practical fixtures, harsh fluorescents, and vibrant neon. He favors eye-level medium shots and closeups rendered with a shallow depth of field, trapping characters within a narrow plane of focus against murky backgrounds. The visual signature relies on a heavily cool, desaturated color grade dominated by deep slate blues, cold grays, and industrial teals, punctuated by stark highlights and pools of deep crimson.
