Directing style
Rory Kennedy’s documentary style favors an objective, observational perspective, relying heavily on eye-level camera angles and a balance of establishing shots, medium shots, and wide compositions. The visual atmosphere is grounded in a split of interior and exterior daytime settings, utilizing deep depth of field to capture subjects within their environments under natural sun and harsh fluorescent light. This yields a tense, ominous, and occasionally chaotic mood, rendered through a naturalistic color palette of muted earth tones, olive greens, slate grays, and deep shadows, accented by cool, desaturated tones and stark black-and-white sequences.
