MS of group of military personnel digging with heavy equipment while searching for old bombs in ground. These men from “Explosive Ordinance Disposal” are observing the excavation process. Camera has various 2- and 3-shots while the soldiers watch the work at hand. Also, CUs of hand controls on back hoe and MS of the back hoe itself. Due to loud engine noise from the heavy equipment being in operation, audio is poor and difficult to understand much of the time. Soldier points out that on bombs “Blue means that it’s for training and it doesn’t have all the explosives,” which concurs with Campbell’s comments regarding bomb coloring.
