A character, in a stark white lab coat, stands in the center of a dimly lit, sterile lab which is a sheer contrast to the character’s spotless ensemble. They hold a vial labelled ‘biotoxin’ with anxiety evident in their shaking hands. The lighting of the scene is cold and harsh, casting long, monstrous shadows. The camera focuses on the character’s face, capturing their fear and uncertainty to create a tense atmosphere. The camera then switches to a low-angle shot, presenting the vial as ominous in the foreground, that subtly dwarfs the character. The mise-en-scene is dominated by an array of identical vials, laboratory instruments and a golf club, or ‘niblick’, incongruously placed against the wall. As the character silently whispers ‘hallo’ into a lab intercom, the shot reveals an empty and silent lab in contrast to the character’s nervous demeanor, creating a sense of isolation and impending danger. The shot ensures the sense of balance through the placement of objects and character in the frame, while also playing with perspective through a dramatic low-angle shot to heighten the suspense.
