For one particularly suspenseful sequence, cinematographer Bjorn Charpentier filmed in a desolate part of town in Tangier, Morocco for two nights without any conventional lighting rigs. "There was no electricity and no light where we shot," Charpentier said. To make matters even more difficult, director Brad Anderson wanted slow-motion footage. That meant Charpentier had to use high-speed film, which generally requires generous amounts of illumination. "The challenge for me was that I didn't want to break my rule of not creating false moonlight, so I had to light the scene with no streetlight or electricity and still shoot high-speed. We didn't rehearse a lot but I knew my approximate angles. From there we just let things flow. The camera movements were completely motivated by the action in that time and space, just as you would in a documentary."
