Directing style
Petrie structures his visual storytelling primarily through medium shots captured at eye-level, prioritizing clear character blocking and performance over dynamic camera heights. Operating largely within interior spaces at night, his setups rely heavily on practical lighting sources and shallow depth of field to isolate subjects against softly blurred backgrounds. The color palette leans into muted, naturalistic earth tones, deep blues, and olive greens, eschewing highly saturated color grades in favor of a grounded, everyday aesthetic.
