Directing style
Richard Franklin’s thrillers rely on a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere established through frequent interior night scenes, where shallow depth of field isolates subjects within medium shots and closeups. Keeping the camera primarily at eye level, his blocking maintains an immediate, observational perspective that is grounded by practical light sources and occasional fluorescent or window illumination. The visual palette leans into dark, ominous tones—dominated by deep blues, charcoal grays, and shadows—punctuated by warm, earthy skin tones and sharp, bright highlights.
