A weary postal worker nears the end of his shift under a dark, overcast evening sky. Use a wide frame to capture the dramatic contrast of the gray sky against the many rows of identical suburban houses. The shot holds a sense of melancholy, emphasized by the dull color palette prevalent in this scene with subdued pastels: dusky blues, grays, and the washed-out reds of worn out mailboxes. As the roundsman moves ahead, blur the houses in the background to create depth, keeping the focus on him. Balance the shot with the subject almost at the center, but slightly to the right. From a low camera angle depict his figure appearing large and imposing. There is a slow-paced panning movement following him along his route, intensifying the feeling of his hard, unending work. There’s a tetanic stiffness in his movements, hinting at his physical exhaustion.
