The scene opens in an expansive cornfield at high noon, the sunlight vivid and warm casting everything in vibrant hues of gold and green. From a lateral angle, a heavy swarm of locusts rises suddenly from the crops, their bodies transforming the color scheme from light to dark in an instant. Focus is on one lone farmer in the distance, standing in the heart of the looming, almost locustal storm. His face is shadowed, emotions unreadable, while the rest of his form is in high definition. Despite the approaching danger, he stands strangely thankful as if this disaster brings some unspeakable relief. The shot gently pulls back, endings the scene with the serene image of the farmer marred by the impending chaos of nature’s wrath.
