Directing style
Forster anchors his tense genre narratives in intimate, eye-level medium shots and closeups, utilizing a shallow depth of field to isolate characters within primarily interior spaces. His lighting relies heavily on practical sources, direct sunlight, and cool fluorescent fixtures, which complement a dominant color grade of cool, desaturated tones and a muted palette of slate grays, olive drabs, and earthy browns. This combination of tight, shallow framing and cold, realistic lighting sources creates a pervasive sense of loneliness and ominous tension across both day and night settings.
