| Description: | Disasters; fire on a Scottish steamer. Tracking shot moving in boat across water toward the steamer. CU steamer - really steaming now! Big bunch of smoke hides it - - a few shots looking through smoke at vague outlines of the boat. Cool shot of firefighter dressed all in black long big coat; and hat - actually looks like some old sea captain - none of him visible at all in this shot - just the clothes - he is standing holding hose; pointed to rt. A foot in front of him is a large curved bar; forming an arch - it looks as if he might even be tied to this with a rope. Anyway it's a dramatic exciting shot. Rather weird & spooky too. | |
