In a dimly lit basement lab, a scientist carefully slices an object with a precise, sharp tool. The framing is tight, focusing on the intensity of the scientist’s actions and the precision with which he handles the instrument. The colors are desaturated; mostly cooler hues that paint a cold and serious atmosphere. The depth is highlighted by a shallow focus that isolates the scientist and his task while blurring the background, thus drawing all attention to him. The shot is balanced by having the scientist on one side, his subject on the other, and the tool connecting both in the middle. The camera angle is below eye level, creating an impression of superiority and dominance of the scientist over his subject. Unexpectedly, there’s a subtle camera movement zooming in on the scientist’s face to reveal beads of sweat trickling down, indicating the pressure or tension in the situation. The space is confined, emphasizing the solitude and concentration of the scientist. The subject, being the scientist himself and his work, is perfectly positioned in this composition, dominating the frame of the scene.
