“I never had any desire to shoot television before, so I felt like I had nothing to lose in the interview,” Berkofsky adds. “I told them I would want to switch from zooms to prime lenses, change the lighting from stage-y to naturalistic, and treat it like a film.” When she was brought on to shoot most of Insecure’s second season, Berkofsky and director Melina Matsoukas, who directed Beyoncé’s Formation music video, drew from the color palettes of films like Nightingale, Selma and Moonlight while referencing Flying Lotus’s Until the Quiet Comes video to establish a sense of place.
