The walls of the cabin are only five logs high at this point. A few spectators stand by and watch the man work. MS of a man in a flannel shirt hammering the corner of structure, where the notch fits into the previous log. CU of two men boring a hole into one of the logs. They use a hand cranked drill which requires the strength of both men. One man steadies the drill while the other turns the handle. CU of a kettle simmering over a wood fire. Camera pulls back to reveal a woman dressed in a bonnet and apron stirring the kettle with a long stick. View of a mariachi band, dressed in black embroidered outfits, walking toward the camera. They play guitars and sing while walking. Three of the four men wear large sombreros. | |
