“I wanted to give this film a more formal and filmic look, as well as convey the emotional journey of our main character, while keeping her at a slight distance. Maggie wanted the audience to feel as though they were peering into a world not their own, creating a kind of “ghostly intimacy,” like an invisible spectator.

I love handheld cinematography, but for most of this project we chose to go in the opposite direction – a more elegant and softer image that was inspired by turn of the century painters. We did use a handheld camera – but only when shooting the interior of our lead’s house during her childhood.” — Kat Westergaard

Lovesong (2016 Film) by So Yong Kim

Female cinematographers: Kat Westergaard Lovesong (2016) Directed by So Yong Kim

“The film inherently looked and felt different just based on the styles and sensibilities Guy [Godfree, second cinematographer] and Kat individually brought to the two halves of the film. Cinematography and color grade are utilized along with the art direction to illustrate a passage of time. Kat’s first half was warm, less contrasty and had an inviting and colorful feel. In the second half, shot by Guy, more cool tones come into play, with a bit more contrast. The warm tones are from more artificial sources at this point and these convey how the characters have matured and how their relationship has evolved.” — Sal Malfitano, colorist on Lovesong
