American Cinematographer’s Jim Hemphill talks with The Conjuring cinematographer John R.

Leonetti also discusses how the frequent use of a wide-angle lens enhances the audience’s feeling of tension and unease, and how he used the post process to transform some of the high-res digital footage into 16mm-style images.
