In an oversized, crystal-clear lab, the shot is focused on an euglena culture inside a glass beaker glowing with a bio-luminescent green light. The illumination brings out the odd shape of these single-celled organisms, which dance and gyrate erratically. The camera pans out to reveal a young scientist, clad in a well-worn lab coat, with vintage frogged buttons, scrutinizing the scene with unease. Their reflection in the glass adds depth to the shot. The spacious lab is dimly lit, teeming with oddly shaped shadows, implying secrecy and risks. The eerie green light is the only source of color, creating an unsettling balance with the overwhelming darkness. The camera angle is from the scientist’s perspective, making the viewer feel as if they are peering the depth of life in its most vivid and raw form. The sudden shivery intake of breath from the scientist and a disallowed sign blinking red in the background suggest an imminent danger.
