Cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth talks to Indiewire about working on The Social Network: "He takes his time with the digital master. He's a painter. He takes time to analyze the frame.

You still have to get the right exposure to start with, Cronenweth reminds: "An HD Cam doesn't change those principles. It takes all the same effort." And shooting in the dark is always an aesthetic risk, he says: "Low levels of light is not safe photography. But it serves the story really well."
