In the midst of an expansive, vast desert, there’s a unique structure made from hardened calcrete, illuminated by the piercing rays of the dwindling sunset. Close to the structure, a man is working with a jigger, excavating around this eye-catching formation.
Work his face extremely dirty from the dusty wind, the man is illuminated by a spotlight attached to his worn-down truck parked some meters away. The whole area is bathed in eerie yet magical golden hues from the spotlight and the sunset mixed together, highlighting the isolation in the wilderness.
The soundtrack shifts and a skanking reggae beat permeates the scene. Suddenly, a group of young people appear from around the calcrete structure, beginning to dance wildly, their bodies moving rhythmically under the stars. The desert scene becomes a strange dance party.
The camera frame moves around this scene and captures their silhouettes’ hectic movements against the backdrop of textured calcrete structure, the dusty truck, and the vast spread of the alien-like desert landscape. The focus is primarily on the dancing figures and the man working with the jigger. The physical depth is enhanced by using wide-angle shots to capture the vast, dimensions of the desert, the structure, and the people.
The scene uses a balanced composition, with the sun setting on one side, the spotlit scene in the center, and the expansive desert on the other side. The camera subtly shifts from high angle shots to focus on the people’s movements in the party and the man’s determined work.
