| Description: | INTRODUCTION: This is work footage for a production that coincides with a larger project. The larger project is a program called, "The Skin Horse." This video begins by showing stills of the various photographs that are hung on stage behind the panelists. Other than that, this footage is exactly the same as that of Master 11350. Although the camera shoots the same discussion, different angles are caught that will allow program editors to diversity the final cut. BODY: 13:18:09 A colored archival photograph is shown. Well, it looks archival, but the composition may just make it appear so. An elderly women sits in front of a window with her head turned away. The window light outlines her face and fills her wrinkles with shadow. She is writing a letter. The surrounding room is sparse and is filled with hard wood floors and a set of long white window curtains. 13:18:46 An illustration, which could serve as a model for a Precious Moment figurine, is shown. It shows a young boy dressed in nice white shirt, a blue coat and a little bow tie. He is holding a miniature donkey, and has golden blond hair. Neither the boy nor the animal has any true emotion being expressed. 13:19:21 A crippled man sits in his wheel chair. The expression on his face resembles a stereotypical Steven King character. Shadows and overhead lighting create of freaky affect. A large sculpture sits near him. It is white and of a vampire that looks like it could be a Klingon from Star Trek. 13:19:48 An archival photograph of a young women is shown. She appears weak and distant in her eyes. Not smiling, she stairs straight-ahead, and into the camera. Dressed in a white dress that hangs off her small frame, it reflects the light coming in from a window. Her face, stark white, also reflects the light. This is a rather disturbing image. 13:20:10 A photograph of, what should be assumed is, a disabled individual is shown. The girl has extended her hand, and her index finger is being held. She has tilted her head, and only one side is shown. Her expression is that of thanks. 13:56:27 A credit screen reads, "The Skin Horse Discussion Segment - Producer: Ducat - Director: Camp." 13:56:53 Footage from here on out parallels Master Number 11350. The camera focuses for long periods of time on the various panelists. As one gives a comment, the camera records the reaction of the others to those comments. These are different shots The purpose of doing this is to obtain footage to create interesting cut away shots during final editing. 14:52:46 OUT. | |
