International Intrigue: Production on the BBC/AMC Miniseries "The Night Manager" Directed by Susanne Bier, "The Night Manager" tells the story of former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), now a night manager at luxury hotels, who is recruited by an intelligence operative (Olivia Colman) to infiltrate the inner circle of an international businessman (Hugh Laurie) and expose the alliance between the intelligence community and the arms trade. AMC debuts the six-part series April 19; before its AMC debut, the film aired on BBC One starting Feb. 21.
Cinematographer Michael Snyman, who worked with Bier in 2014 on the feature "A Second Chance," joined her again to shoot "The Night Manager."
Snyman says that when Bier called him about the six-part series, he worried a bit about what they were getting themselves into. But then he read the scripts. "I was immediately drawn to the huge ambition portrayed," he says. "The images going through my head were spectacular and I knew I had to do it."

"10 Cloverfield Lane" Cinematographer on Creating a Claustrophobic World "10 Cloverfield Lane" cinematographer Jeff Cutter discusses the making of the film, which takes place in a bomb shelter after a catastrophic event has taken place. To aid in the claustrophobic feel of the movie, the filmmakers chose to build an almost full set of the bunker.
"The main room had a hard ceiling — there was no taking it off or on, so there were no overhead lights that were coming in — and I really wanted to treat it like a practical space," Cutter explains. "While we did have a removable ceiling in Michelle's bedroom and Howard's bedroom, I tried not to remove them to put in some light that I didn’t believe or that wasn’t motivated. As much as possible I wanted to light the sets with practicals so that the actors had the freedom and so that you could believe all those light sources. It was really important to [director Dan Trachtenberg] and I that everything feel grounded and real."

How Director David Farr Uses Space to Build Anxiety in Thriller "The Ones Below" Tense British thriller "The Ones Below" tells the story of two upstairs/downstairs neighbors and couples, both expecting their first child until a tragedy makes everything take a turn. The film marks the directorial feature debut of screenwriter David Farr.
"We've used handheld photography in moments where it is really appropriate, where there are moments of terrific anxiety and a desire to get somewhere," Farr says. "Then there are a lot of other scenes that are quite withheld and quite restrained, where the camera is quite wide and we let the space do more of the work. It's a mixture in that sense...Often in film when you see a big space and then something really tight, it helps create that feeling of anxiety."
