Directing style
Martin Campbell constructs tension and mystery by staging characters primarily in night interiors, relying on a shallow depth of field to isolate subjects in medium and closeup shots. He anchors his blocking with a steadfast preference for eye-level camera angles, illuminating his scenes through motivated practical sources, direct sunlight, windows, and firelight. His palette leans heavily into dark, earthy tones, muted greens, and deep purples, occasionally cooled by desaturated color grades or accented with sharp pops of saturated red and green.
