Continued interview from previous tape for first half of tape while talking about their lives, being on the slabs for a month and “Nothing much exciting really happening.”
The camera fluctuates between a MS to two-shot while Mary and Frank are on tape.
Frank talks about how “My old lady ran off with her (Mary’s) husband and they got married.”
The assortment of pans and zooms for cutaway material after the talk with Frank & Mary is inconsistent visually as a blue filter is engaged frequently during the taping, but that does create an interesting look, too. Shots include camper behind single tree, trailer with Confederate flag, engine by Mike’s bus in CU, old Christmas tree and abandoned vehicle. - Creation Date
