It\u2019s about love, it\u2019s about faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    As the film begins, Richardson\u2019s camera glides over the Louisiana swamps \u2014 Peter\u2019s path to freedom. Fuqua recalls, as the three-time Oscar-winning cinematographer was testing looks, \u201cBob went out and shot different stuff with his camera. That opening shot going over the water was one of the style of images Bob sent me. And I just said, \u2018That\u2019s it. That\u2019s the look.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Continues Fuqua: \u201cThis is God\u2019s world. It\u2019s beautiful until man does what they do to each other,\u201d adding that the beauty is reflected in brief moments, including one in which Peter contemplates the majesty of his surroundings. \u201cBut then at the same time, [there\u2019s] a lack of color because if you are a slave, the world is bleak,\u201d he notes of the imagery, a unique black-and-white look that contains hints of color. \u201cIt was forced labor. It was a horrible, horrible thing to do to a human being, to have your children ripped away from you and [to be] treated [like you are] less than an animal. As I talked more to Bob about it, I just couldn\u2019t see the color in it \u2014 but it\u2019s not for lack of hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The color highlights, Robertson says, were inspired by \u201cthe actual photograph that I first saw of Peter. \u2026 I wanted it to be in sync with what [Peter] was going through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Plans initially called for production to take place in Georgia, but Fuqua says the decision was made to move from the state \u201cbecause of voting suppression. It didn\u2019t feel right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Adds Richardson: \u201cI think I was there for two months. When that vote came in, Antoine said no. We had great locations. We were all set to start the film. And his perspective was so strong that Antoine, Will and Apple all agreed: Move it, and take the hit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The Louisiana shoot also had its own challenges. \u201cWhen we first talked about the film, I didn\u2019t want to make it from the perspective of my fear of snakes, which is intense,\u201d Richardson admits. But he also acknowledges his reservations about shooting in a swamp. \u201cSwamps are absolutely not acceptable in respect to moving the equipment we have to move. It took a lot of effort to come up with the path in the movie. It was truly treacherous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    There also was Ida, the 2021 hurricane that shut down production. When they returned, there were new obstacles. Richardson cites as an example the location for the early scene when Peter is taken from his family: \u201cWhat we looked at was something entirely different from where we started. But there\u2019s a sadness that took place in terms of the look of the locations that added to the poignancy of the visuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1000px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((555\/1000)*100%);\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Print-Issue-1A-rep_screen-Emancipation-Fuqua-Richardson-Split-Getty-EMBED-2023.jpg?w=1000\" alt=\"Director Antoine Fuqua and cinematographer Robert Richardson\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Print-Issue-1A-rep_screen-Emancipation-Fuqua-Richardson-Split-Getty-EMBED-2023.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Print-Issue-1A-rep_screen-Emancipation-Fuqua-Richardson-Split-Getty-EMBED-2023.jpg?resize=125,70 125w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"\" height=\"555\" width=\"1000\" decoding=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"a-font-secondary-s lrv-u-margin-r-025\">Director Antoine Fuqua and cinematographer Robert Richardson<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                    <cite class=\"a-font-accent-uppercase-xs lrv-u-color-grey-dark\">Vivien Killilea\/Getty Images; Gregg Deguire\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>This story first appeared in a Jan. stand-alone issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
