| Description: | Family Outside in the Yard. Looks like 1940s home movies, handheld, speed slightly faster than real time. Caucasian family members recreating in yard of home, in rural or exurb location. (All these shots on bright sunny day.) Pan automobile to young woman standing beside it, door open. Young white boy, dressed casually, runs toward cam, zigzagging happily along country road; he is scooped up into the arms of smiling young white woman (his mom or aunt?). Blond Caucasian boy, suspenders holding up his pants, runs, plays for the camera in driveway. TLS little girl (blond curls), who wears shorts, holding roll of string; pan left to 2 brothers, one of whom holds up a toy plane or kite (?). MS little girl with string again, talking to cam. TLSs Dad (white man wearing tie) prepping toy plane/kite, posing with the same three children (though the little girl is now wearing a yellow dress - maybe they made her dress up for the camera). Overexposed MSs little girl in yellow dress. MS girl wearing yellow dress sitting on teeter-totter (see saw); pan left to suspender-wearing boy on the other end; he turns to smile at camera. TLS white woman, wearing head wrap to keep her hair neat and a sweater over simple housedress, holds kite plane and runs with it in attempt to make it fly; it crashes to the ground. Cute shot of little girl running toward camera. Slightly dark MS father (white man) posing with pet dog. MS little blond girl posing in front of bushes. Eldest boy holds up toy airplane, smiles for the camera. Slightly overexposed shot of nicely dressed older woman (grandmother?) holds hand of little girl and they walk down front steps of home. Overexposed, slightly soft focus MS grandma (she looks wealthy - hair neatly swept up, her outfit lovely). Overexposed MS little blond girl with balloon, standing beside grandma. Shots of the family dog moving around. Brief shot of little girl dressed for late fall (hat, long-sleeved outerwear). Then more shots of dog playing in yard. | |
