2. “THE DARK KNIGHT”
Director of Photography: Wally Pfister

“ The Battersea Power Station has such a wonderful history and was perfectly suited for our story. There are very few locations where you can find that kind of scale. Chris really likes these iconic Batman images (the helicopter shot of Batman on top of the tall building is another) and usually uses them in very powerful, emotional moments in the film. All that weight was presented on a massive, eight-story screen when viewed at an IMAX theater. I was quite pleased with the duality of the color palette, the blue of the dawn light mixed with the warm, orange of the fire light. We decided to shoot this as a dawn scene, as it allowed us to see much more of the destroyed Battersea interior than we would have had it been a night scene.” –Wally Pfister

1. “LET THE RIGHT ONE IN”
Director of Photography: Hoyte Van Hoytema

“This shot can be seen as a compressed example of how we tried to treat the story throughout the film. It pretty much followed the ideas Tomas and I had about how to show cruelty, action and supernatural elements and where to put focus. We wanted to be close on Oscar and the way he experiences the situation, as well as have a platform to tell everything that happens in one shot. I am not sure if it is the most “pretty” frame of the film, but it was very exciting to try to unravel and solve the puzzle of all present elements in this shot, technically, as well as emotionally. I am very proud of Tomas and the way he dared to go with a climax that is so violent, but restrained and subtle at the same time.” –Hoyte Van Hoytema
