| Description: | Family Fun in the Fall. Looks like 1940s home movies, handheld, speed slightly faster than real time. Caucasian family members in yard of home, in rural or exurb location. TLSs older African-American man, smoking cigarette, wearing hat, shirtsleeves rolled up, pushes little blond girl in a wheelbarrow full of autumn leaves (looks fun for the kid; interesting image of race relations, black, white). Slightly overexposed MS little white girl wearing overalls squatting to pick up a rake from the ground. Various shots of the little girl endeavoring to rake; she finally picks up a handful of leaves and throws them into wheelbarrow. MCUs blond curly-headed girl smiling, turning away from camera. Brief MCU white boy looking seriously at cam, then smiling. MSs the two children sitting on the ground in front of white picket fence (!), sucking lollipops, posing for cam; the little girl has her arm around brother's neck. Young boy (suspenders holding up his brown shorts) stands next to dog. Various shots dog (Great Dane, it seems) enjoying life outside, stretching out on the ground, sometimes with children in the shot. View over picket fence as little girl opens door to go inside house. Outdoors, little boy holds a crayon drawing in front of his face (colors indicate an autumn theme). Various shots of boy and his sister (she's now holding the crayon artwork) outside, preparing to ride red scooter. Various shots of young white boy climbing on wooden fence. Outside open two-car garage (one vehicle parked inside, 1940s car in driveway), boy rides his red scooter past the camera. Various shots of two young blond boys (brothers?) raking leaves in the yard; they're in short sleeves so it's not super cold. The boys pose holding their rakes, with and without pet dog. Various shots of four Caucasian boys horsing around in the yard - in fact, it looks like part of the game is for the older boys to crawl like a horse while the smaller boys "ride". Also piggyback rides, one boy holding another. Friends playing, fun. | |
