cinematic realism Genetics Lab – Ethiopian Boy (Ethiopia) and Lab Partner An Ethiopian teenage boy, wearing a lab coat and gloves, pipettes a DNA sample into a gel electrophoresis chamber. The camera is a tight, side-angle close-up, catching his concentrated, slightly nervous expression as his partner records data in a lab notebook. The table is covered with microcentrifuge tubes, pipette racks, and a laptop displaying genetic sequences. Charts of chromosomes and DNA structures line the walls. The mood is scientific and anticipatory, with students quietly discussing hypotheses and waiting for results to appear under UV light.
