Two tiny robed figures standing on a vast empty plain at dusk, dwarfed by a colossal monolithic stone wall filling the entire frame, two narrow vertical slits cut high in the wall glowing with molten orange backlight, hot dust and haze billowing through the openings and rolling across the ground toward camera, low gentle dunes in the foreground, scale rendered almost biblical. Extreme wide establishing shot, 35mm anamorphic, dead-center symmetrical composition, low horizon. Deep umber and burnt sienna palette, near-silhouette figures, crushed blacks, single warm backlight source, atmospheric haze and volumetric god rays. Brutalist sci-fi monumentality, slow ominous stillness, cinematography in the spirit of Greig Fraser and Hoyte van Hoytema.
