Explain how the director uses two film techniques to develop ‘The Adjustment Officers’

The director has used colour and lighting very well to develop The Adjustment Officers by making the colour bland and the lighting very almost non-emotional and deserted. He has used the colour to express that they are almost nothing, and are not supposed to be emotionally invested. This links to the dialogue used in the film. As one of the men suggests that ‘everyone needs a vacation, even us’ he hints at the difference and the lighting is dim, making us feel apologetic for them.
