A quite chapel sits in the midst of a thick, eerie forest, the ground blanketed by a multitude of twinflowers. The dark cool colors of the scene evoke a sense of melancholy and mystery. The camera is low, framing the storybook-like chapel with the darkened canopy of trees, both swallowed up in the morning mist. The backdrop is surreal yet calming: blueish-gray mist that mutes but not completely hides a dawn sky.
A sudden brooding knell echoes, the sound resonating from the chapel, breaking the silence of the forest. The focus subtly shifts from the chapel onward to the twinflowers appearing to shiver at each toll. There’s an unsettling balance; the beauty of the flowers contrasting the deep doom implied by the sound. A slow, steady movement of the camera inwards provides a sense of depth, directing attention towards the small path leading up to the chapel’s entrance.
