| Description: | Trailer: BLACK OUT SENSE reminding pedestrians and drivers to take care in the blackout. Light zooms towards camera and we hear crashing sound. MS man enters tea shop with flashlight, then another. MS Man walks into cafe and complains about how near he was to getting knocked down by a lorry during the blackout. He is a pedestrian who was almost run down, the other the driver of the truck. The two men talk to each other and tell of the proper way to drive and walk during the black out. They show the proper way to avoid accidents in the reduced light conditions of the blackout in wartime. Split screen effect with man in one corner and driver in the other, with animation of lorry and pedestrians in the space between them. In the end the driver agrees he will drive more slowly, the pedestrian agrees to take more care crossing the road. End title: "Look Out in the Blackout". | |
