A dapper gentleman, in the stuffiest, most formal period attire, sits alone at a massive dining table laden with untouched food. The camera’s eye focuses initially on the man’s face, highlighting the loneliness in his eyes despite his obvious wealth and privilege. The shot then slowly zooms out, revealing the grandeur of the room and bringing the rest of the scene into focus. Shadows cast by candlelight dance upon classical paintings and ornate decor, giving a sense of depth to the room and emphasizing its vastness compared to the solitary figure at its heart. The color scheme is muted, dominated by dark hues that create a rather somber mood. Despite the visual beauty of the room, its emptiness and the distance between the man and everything else create an overwhelming sense of imbalance. This camera movement is slow and deliberate, reinforcing the sense of isolation. The shot ends on a high-angle perspective, placing the viewer in an observer’s perspective, looking down upon this scene of loneliness amidst opulence.
