Under a wide open sky, two trackers are seen from a bird’s eye perspective, moving cautiously across the striated, welted plains. The sun, low on the horizon, casts long shadows that darken the otherwise vibrant orange and red hues of the terrain. The hand-held camera focuses on their worn boots, kicking up dust with each step.
As the perspective shifts, it now frames one of the tracker’s faces in close-up. His weathered face squints against the harsh sunlight, eyes full of steely determination. He raises his arm to shield his eyes, the light highlighting the first faint signs of sweat on his pericardium shaped pendant.
Linear depth is emphasized by the scale of the vista behind him – a blend of stark mountains and endless flatlands. The environment breathes a sense of tranquility and desolation, balanced by the dynamic movement of the trackers. The shot ends with a slow, panning movement across the open space to reveal a distant, ominous silhouette.
