A bustling, dimly lit 19th-century English pub is full of murmuring chartists, intensely discussing their plan of action. The color scheme follows the muddy browns of the room, accented by flickering orange candlelight. The camera focuses on a small group meeting around a rear table, serving as our point of balance in the busy scene.
A lone woman stands off to the side of the room, peering from the shadows at the group from a low angle, unseen by the patrons. Her face remains out-of-focus, highlighting her anonymity. Our camera tracks her watchful gaze, sliding slowly across the room. The depth in the shot comes from her perspective, with the camera positioned behind her shoulder, adding to the suspense.
On the other side of the room, dogs kennel, adding contrast by their presence as domestic pets amongst the thinkers and granting a sense of space.
