On a gloomy, mist-filled evening, an aged fortune teller sits inside a dimly lit, cluttered wagon. The camera begins at a low angle, capturing her entirely; an almost silhouetted figure, backlit by a single flickering candle. Her hands, gnarled from years of use, clasp a crystal ball. The camera moves in slowly, fixating on the ball as colors and images swirl within its depths. Gradual transitions occur between long shots of the fortune teller and extreme closeups (macrophotographies) of the ball and its illusory contents. This movement enhances the deep depth of field, adding a layer of suspense. The scene is rich in shadow, with strategic use of lighting to highlight specific elements: the faint glimmers on the intricate silver designs on the wagon walls, the crevices on the fortune teller’s face, and the flashes within the crystal ball predicting the future (spaeing). The scene leaves the audience pondering (surmises) over the ball’s haunting revelations.
