Light For Life
PREV #98795 An educational/safety film. Opening montage of a middle aged man inspecting things in his garage (his childrens' bikes, his car, tools, etc.); he gets into his car, reverses into the street, and drives away (nice suburban area on a bright sunny day); pan R to the narrator (in a pressed business suit) who talks to the camera in a grim and procedural manner. Cut to Joe (the man that drove off) in a hardware store. Cut to Joe fixing a flat tire at night... cars whizz very closely by him... a CU of a male driver lighting a cigarette... nighttime montage (lots of superimpositions) of city life, traffic signals, street lights, and so on.... the simulated death(?) of Joe as he tries to fix his flat tire. The rest of the film takes place in a dark studio where the narrator talks to the camera about DuPont nighttime safety products (refelctive triangles and safety flares). He discusses the proper procedures and applications of said products as well as lighting a flare up in the studio (talks nonchalantly to the camera while holding a burning flare in his right hand). The film ends with various LS's and CU's of burning flares at night in both dry and raining situations. There are three answer prints available: WPA's 1442, 1442A, and 1442B.
