| Description: | High angle TLS of industrial complex with coal cars on the railroad beside it (some light leaks - and holes punched in film obscure this) . Flames and smoke visible. Cuts to LS smokestack, behind telephone wires/poles - spewing gray smoke. Same shot diff. Angle. Repeat of first shot without light leaks or holes. Cuts to wider shot of industrial complex with railyard in f/g and large processing or manufacturing structure behind it. MS bridge with sliding crane/scoop attached to it. Slides over to pile of sand (aggregate? Gravel?) scoops some up and the slides over rail car and dumps it into the rail car. TLS industrial complex with smokestacks, white smoke or steam billowing from one. WS of industrial complex - pipes and geometric structures and steam. High angle WS of industrial complex - building and a lot of steam/smoke. Very hazy. Cam pans to another section of industrial buildings. Looks like large manufacturing plant. Cuts to shot of another indutrial area - 5 black smokestacks spew black smoke into blue sky. Nice geometric angles of structures/pipes. Exttreme low angle shot looking up and alongside smokestack that spews white smoke into blue sky. Nice. Another low angle shot looking up of 3 large white smokestacks blowing white smoke into air. MS industrial complex - dark buildings, smokestacks and a lot of white smokes. Cuts to 5 skinny black smokestacks against opaque white smoke - spewing more white smoke - kind of creepy and beautiful at once. MCU low canted angle of thick white plume of smoke coming from huge smokestack - frame by strucutre of building - cam tilts up to smoke. Two more shots of same. | |
