Directing style

Ruben Fleischer’s cinematography favors a tense, ominous atmosphere built on a foundation of night-dominated scenes, splitting his setups almost equally between interiors and exteriors. He anchors his blocking in eye-level medium shots and wide compositions, utilizing a shallow depth of field to isolate subjects against desaturated, cool-toned backgrounds or dark, shadow-heavy palettes. Lighting is driven primarily by motivated sources, relying on practicals, fluorescent fixtures, and streetlamps to pierce the darkness rather than relying on daylight.
