The shot is a bustling downtown sidewalk during twilight. The hue the setting sun casts is a romantic pink-orange, highlighting the art deco architecture of the buildings. The camera angle is low, almost at ground level, giving the viewer a feeling of being present. People in 1950s attire walk, their faces lit with the soft glow from the shop windows. A man stands out in the crowd, fixedly staring into a bookstore window display showcasing popular mid-century novels. He’s dressed differently – in a lab coat, slightly frazzled, holding the stethoscope he has forgotten to take off. His focus on the books is intense, unseeing to anything else around him. The shot slowly pulls onto his reflection on the window – a man lost in a world not his own. You can feel a hint of sadness in the frame as he attempts to grasp a culture he feels alienated from. Cars and people pass by in a blur but he stands still, creating an interesting dichotomy between motion and stillness. To balance the shot, a neon pharmacy sign reflects in the window on his right, subtly indicating his profession as a scientist. The frame is filled with a fusion of science and culture, presenting a unique perspective. As the twilight fades, the neon’s glow becomes the primary light source, casting a surreal feel to the scene. The shot ends with a slight pull back, leaving the audience intrigued about this man and his story.
