| Description: | A STUDY IN MISCHIEF Various shots of monkeys and an elephant in the zoo. India "To be precise 300 studies of chattering scrambling bundles of mischief from the bazaars of India." WS a bunch of small monkeys inside large cage made of chain-link fence wire; there are all sorts of things on which the monkeys can climb and swing - block pyramids sitting on the floor, ropes and rope ladders hanging from ceiling, a tall fake tree, a small fountain, etc. etc. MS masses of monkeys come scrambling out of small square opening in wall. A few of them grab onto a rope and scamper up it. MLS same monkeys coming through "door" and climbing down ramp or leaping off it. Other monkeys sit on "perches" above. Back to WS of huge crowd of monkeys going nuts. MLS tilt up: monkeys clinging to the chain link ceiling of the cage. Closer shot of same. Shot looking straight down at monkeys gathered around the edge of water in their fountain; some sticking their paws in and stirring or splashing the water. MCU a few monkeys sit on the ground beside their pyramid climbing tower. Largest monkey is grooming her baby who lies on ground beside her. LS elephant shaking back and forth as if dancing a shimmy, trying to shake off a man clinging to its back. The guy finally hops down. Next, view of the same trick from the other side. | |
