This week on the show, Scott Siracusano, cinematographer of 'Control Freak,' takes us behind the scenes of the nuanced process of bringing a feature film to life, especially one that builds on the eerie undercurrents of its short film predecessor. Scott shares his approach to lighting and camera movement, revealing how he crafted scenes to create an atmosphere of tension and suspense.
We also discuss the technical challenges of shooting with mirrors—an innovative choice that not only enhances the film's aesthetic but also serves to deepen the audience's understanding of the characters' internal struggles. From the chaotic joy of filming and the exhilarating moments of creativity to the nerve-wracking pressures of a first-time feature, we cover it all!
