| Description: | WARE SHARKS Fishing for hammerhead sharks Durban, South Africa MS 2 men squat on ground, tying a big hunk of whale meat to line. MLS man wading in water hands line w/ whale meat to a person sitting in a tiny one-man boat, then hands him or her an oar. WS the tiny boat far out in water. MLS tilt up: group on pier or boat: men in baggy trousers, wrinkled shirts, floppy-brimmed hats, hold heavy duty fishing rods ready; others watch, incl. other men, some wearing suits, schoolboys in uniforms, a dark-skinned Indian looking man, etc. etc. MLS tilt down : man lying on pier napping w/ hat over his face, his fishing pole propped up on a rock so that the line hangs into water. LS looking along people crowding at edge of pier; more people hurry to join them, some excitement; pan up. One guy standing on the wall has something big on the line and his pole is bending in a big arc. MCU another man furiously reeling in line and rocking back and forth. LS pan on shark caught on the line being pulled in, banging against wall. MCU odd bird (dark w/ white stripe curving round the eye in a C shape and on down the chest) standing on rock at edge of wall. LS (from atop wall) pulling in the shark caught on fisherman's line; another man pulls up the line, dragging shark over wall & lowering it; people coming to look. Now we can see that the structure they're on is actually a long narrow thing with a train track down the center. MS tilt down: hammerhead shark thrashing about, spreading blood on the ground. Shot from same angle, w/ a dog running around the shark, half wanting to attack this strange beast and half afraid of it. | |
