What does the cinematography of Mayhem look like?

Across 38 sampled frames, Mayhem builds its coverage from medium shots, with close-ups carrying much of the rest. Low angles recur throughout. Cinematographer Steve Gainer keeps most of it in soft, low-key light. Most of the frames play at night or in the failing light of dusk. Anamorphic glass shapes the frame. Focus stays shallow in most of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings.
