| Description: | people waiting for visas to america (03:50), Vacant American Embassy in BG (), Long lines (), Gate (), Worried looking people (), Guards (), Park of Tears (named so for those who get a no with US Embassy in BG (11:15). Tight LS of a line waiting outside a rundown building, just one of many in the immediate vicinity. Cut to several MS's of people waiting patiently, quietly in line (Visas to America). Cut to tight LS of the long-abandoned and since-gone-to-mush American embassy building; in FG is a sign which reads, "Peaton No Detenerse"; there's scaffolding around the building as if it is being reconstructed. Cut to MS's of stern looking people in line; good shots, some pans. MS's of security guards manning toll post booths, meeting and greeting and helping those in line or passing by.; seems kinda windy. Cut to tight LS of construction workers on scaffolding, zoom out to resume former shot of guards and line. Cut to several tight LS's of the booths, the guards, the lines, the people, etc. Good material as the people are oblivious to the camera. | |
