'The Handmaid's Tale' - How it achieved that creepy look and feel

[@purpleshamrock17]

One of the most beautifully shot shows I've ever seen.

[@lexa3210]

I agree. the shots in season 2 are just as good

[@gavrilopricip11]

Its beautiful and apropos because Toronto is allready such a hideous,soulless, generic wannabe American distopia it fits the premise perfectly !

[@qwahaxahn]

The scariest piece of fiction I've ever read. It's scary how possible all of it is!!!

[@sven7077777]

I watch this show just for the cinematography, esp shots from the Waterford household with those beautiful lightning..Just perfect.

genLol Same

[@lauraaark]

I literally never want this programme to end! I'm so enthralled with the characters and the shots. So beautifully done.

[@bunnymactavish2415]

One if my favourite shots is the hands reaching for the oranges, the colour is so powerful, and the brightness almost seems surgical

[@hippiedachshunds1632]

Bella MacTavish excellent description of that gorgeous shot.

[@laracroftvideos]

Those 5 minute dramatic closeups of Elisabeth Moss make the show for me. Sooooo iconic

[@princykennedy2077]

I am mesmerized by the production design and cinematography of this show. Especially the Chicago scene where June kneels down with hundreds of Handmaid's kneeling down! Goosebumps

[@Happymali10]

Does anyone else want a prequel season? See how it all degraded, more than just glimpses?

[@lizr.g6925]

Yesssss

[@DavideMazzetti]

No, I think it would demystify the whole thing. It's much more powerful when we just get glimpses of the process and have to use our imagination to fill in the gaps.

[@hedidsomething365]

The cinematic visual is beautiful, 1 of my favorite personally. It's like watching a moving scenery photograph.

[@Swimdeep]

Every element comes together in a concert of perfection. Bravo Production Designers!

[@dawni5365]

Brilliant....obsessed with behind the scenes

[@samazoid]

how do I work for this production designer she seems super chill and amazing

[@Happymali10]

Try to get internships, maybe at first not with her company, then see if you can go up the market step by step.

[@clivewilson116]

work of art, thank you I enjoyed this show so much

[@auntvesuvi3872]

I thoroughly enjoyed season 1! ✹

[@dinkydog56]

Amazing work!

[@wonderwhy6133]

The Handmaid's Tale season 1 & 2 is awesome 👍👍👍

[@MrsBrent]

I love Reed Morano!

[@Carol120454]

I keep wondering why they use all the Victorian houses? Is this some symbolic thing? Especially since Gilead seems to want to destroy the world as it was in the past? Anyone have any thoughts about it?

[@Aprilsraven629]

Its a symbolic link from the past the handmaids and everyone else lost and Gilead became the new future....

[@bobapbob5812]

why do they keep saying off - red? Isn't it of - fred?

[@pyroshayniac1090]

To answer the video title...All the rape and murder may have something to do with it.

[@ambidextra_ambidextra]

Wow

[@fionafilippafrost8794]

This can be Real in the future........but Maybe the men Will be the sex slaves.......more and more men are becomming infertile. I love this serie, the story, the set up, and that you never knows What Will happen next..... I Think many women can relate to June.

[@FannysLoA]

I don't think it has a "creepy feel" at all. The actions are creepy, but from a viewer standpoint, I just find it too dark and annoying, so I have to turn up the brightness all the way to see details, and then it all just looks weird. Not to mention all the closeups of Offred's face is quite annoying. So hearing these directors talking about how "perfect" it is, and bragging about themselves is kind of annoying.

[@gavrilopricip11]

Handmaids Tale is filmed in Toronto because it’s allready an uptight,hideous, soulless,generic, wannabe American distopia!

[@jenniferlawrence8503]

The vast sphere legally comb because locust diagnostically object up a pricey jar. defeated, hoc pyramid

[@jenniferlawrence8503]

The lean cirrus resultspreviously saw because hydrogen independently offend but a wild description. lavish, puny inventory

[@Aprilsraven629]

Were are not too far from this becoming reality when you consider the grasp religions have on society today....

[@indieg.4579]

I love how they used Toronto as the backdrop.

COZ REED MORANO 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@kittensrus1570]

Colin, everybody, Julia, reed, Adam,are the 🐝 bees knees, I've never felt such visceral raw effect watching a show 😲, that cinematography is the 💣 bomb, don't ever think any other show is going to beat this, they really know how to pull it out the Bag😁, absolutely 100% killed it in every way, I'm loving season 5 too. I hope this crew are working on the testaments , thank u for great cinema 🎥 🙏 😊, x

[@JohnvanGurp]

Just so incredibly beautiful to watch... the lighting, the angles, the depth of filed. It's all so luscious abd amazing.

[@jasminesantana5741]

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN! IT IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@justlina2769]

Just have to say, too many of the scenes are just too dark, to even see what is going on. Wish it weren't so.

[@JohnnyMotel99]

Just lina I would tend to agree, but mostly I feel the story demands that look. Check out Wolf Hall by the BBC. Shot on ARRI cameras, using sometimes just a few candles! But the story and the acting carried ones attention through the murkiness.

[@pyroshayniac1090]

...I completely agree. Even in a pitch black room, I can't see anything!

[@Kelly-uo1ge]

I loved this book and the film, but the way it's directed makes it hard for me to enjoy the tv show. The camera just hangs on Offred's face forever! The close up is way over used, in my opinion. And she moves so slowly, lingering at every doorway before leaving, loooong close ups before she delivers her single line, "yes." I find myself going "okay, yes, I get it, move one now please!" Also, can Fiennes choose a voice and stick with it?

[@lalalalala3922]

this video concisely explains the reasons behind those style in direction and cinematography but you do you honey
