The filming is mainly at night, so the tones are very dark. Most of them are mainly in small rooms, so it gives people a feeling of depression and helplessness.
It is mainly based on the indoor environment, so the director often uses medium shots and close-ups to reflect the relationship between the male and female protagonists, and subjective shots can make the audience feel more involved. It makes me feel that the distance between the male protagonist is very close, while the female protagonist is relatively distant.
When the male protagonist spy on the female protagonist, the male protagonist often uses close-ups, which can better reflect the crampedness of his spying, and also show the inner world of the male protagonist. From the male protagonist's subjective perspective, the female protagonist uses panoramic and medium shots to show the female protagonist's life. It reflects the character of the heroine.
In terms of photography, I especially like the part of the cafe, which revolves around the male protagonist, giving me a new feeling.
In the end, I think the male protagonist represents love, and the female protagonist represents desire. The collision between the male protagonist and the female protagonist at home is also the collision of love and desire. In the beginning love has been weak, but in the end love overcomes lust.
