In a courtroom, a shot focuses on three judges, each aging and stern, sitting behind a massive brassy table that reflects spikes of sunlight slipping in from a large window. The framing is wide, showcasing the full breadth of the imposing wooden chamber. A dolly out reveals lined-up rows of wooden benches filled with anxious spectators. A deep focus captures both the foreground, where a fidgety suspect stands, face half-lit in shadow, and the background, where an ancient ceiling fan slowly turns. Contrast and balance are managed through a split between cool morning light from the window and warm, dim lamplight falling on the imposing faces of the judges. The color palette is earthy – brown, gold, gray, creating an atmosphere of imposing authority and dread.
