ERROL MORRIS — INTERROTRON DIRECT ADDRESS
VISUAL STYLE: Errol Morris interview aesthetic — The Fog of War, The Act of Killing. The subject looks directly into camera, directly at the viewer. Hyper-real clarity. The discomfort of sustained eye contact with someone telling you something true.
COLOUR PALETTE: Neutral and precise. Deep backgrounds — dark grey, warm black, occasionally deep blue. The subject lit with studio precision. No distracting colour. All attention on the person speaking.
FIGURES: Illustrated but portrait-realistic. The face carries the weight — every line, every expression. The eyes are specific. These are not generic characters — they are individuals with histories.
FRAMING: Tight on the face and upper body. Centred. The background is dark and simple. Nothing competes with the subject.
CUTAWAYS: Occasional slow, precise shots of objects relevant to what is being said. These cutaways are exact and deliberate.
LIGHT: Studio precision. The face is lit as if it matters — because it does. Catchlights in the eyes. Soft shadow on one side.
No action sequences. No establishing shots. The face is the location. The truth is in the eye contact.
