Directing style
Forman’s visual style relies heavily on eye-level medium shots and closeups captured with a shallow depth of field, focusing attention on characters within confined interior spaces during the day. He emphasizes a tense, lonely, and occasionally ominous atmosphere through a cool, desaturated palette of bone whites, muted grays, and dusty browns, accented by pale blues. The lighting is grounded in realistic, institutional sources, depending primarily on fluorescent fixtures, natural window light, and direct sunlight to shape the drama.
