| Description: | 206-12 Father and Son CU book cover, "The Wonders of the Sea" by James Fisher. Zoom out as man opens up and begins reading aloud. He's sitting beside a swimming pool and reads: "When our Earth was about half its present age, some one hundred thousand million years ago, the first living things appeared in the sea..." He flubs the subsequent line and looks to the camera for direction 01:31:33 MS side of pool, three boys swimming underwater to the edge and pop their heads up ("living things appearing in the sea"?). One says, "I lost my breath," and the man chuckles 01:31:45 reverse angle boys from behind, man reading as they gather around him (no sound); man puts his arm around the boy sitting by him 01:32:17 CU man reading, boy beside him (no sound) 01:32:42 cutaway boys listening and smiling, wet from the pool 01:32:56 MS man reading, boy beside him (sound returns -- color faded here). He's explaining about micro-organisms. He stops reading and throws one boy in the pool. The others laugh, but the thrown kid is pretty upset, and the man fishes him out and gives him a hug. The kid is still upset, seeming to cry and say, "No, I don't wanna." | |
