Dealey Plaza Revisited - Establishing shots of Dealey Plaza along with reenactments of the Kennedy assassination as conducted by the Secret Service and the Warren Commission. Really nice footage.
Panning 360 degree LS of Dealey Plaza showing courthouse, Dal-Tex building, Texas School Book Depository, pergola, grassy knoll, overpass, etc; shot shortly after the Kennedy assassination, wreaths & mourners on hill; traffic passing in FG. TLS traffic entering Dealey Plaza, passing under overpass.
Excellent subjective POV shot reenacting Kennedy motorcade route, making right turn into Dealey Plaza, passing Texas School Book Depository, crowds lining street and moving under the turnpike overpass. Second POV take focuses on 6th floor of Texas School Book Depository as car turns corner, holding shot of TSBD, car coming to stop, camera zooms in to open sixth floor window.
Panning TLSs interior of 6th floor of Texas School Book Depository, boxes of books piled high in some shots. MS white man in business suit assuming Lee Harvey Oswald's alleged position in "sniper's nest" by window. MSs windows of sixth floor of TSBD (interior view). Panning shot view of Dealey Plaza from windows of sixth floor. MSs sniper's nest by window (no man, just boxes). MSs man kneeling at sniper's nest, pointing out window. LS view from sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, cars & trucks driving in and out of Dealey Plaza, nice perspective shot.
Reenactment of Kennedy motorcade as seen from 6th floor of Texas School Book Depository. Similar shots repeat several times, good high angle perspective of Dealey Plaza and JFK motorcade route.
Reenactment of the Kennedy assassination with magnified sniper scope (riflescope, telescopic sight) in center screen, actor portraying Kennedy wavering in and out of crosshairs. Very interesting visual that illustrates the difficulty of making the kill shots that Oswald supposedly pulled off. Since the scene is obscured by the sniper scope, the actors look nothing like the Kennedys & the car is not a limo and a different color than the death car, this could very easily serve as generic political assassination material. Similar shots repeated several times.
Interior panning TLS sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, boxes stacked high. Reenactment of Lee Harvey Oswald hiding rifle, leaving 6th floor and arriving at second floor lunchroom, the actor portraying LHO walking lamely, slowly, methodically.
Exterior panning LSs of Dealey Plaza from Abraham Zapruder's vantage point during the assassination, traffic traveling along street (nice mix of late 50s & early 60s cars, pickup trucks and buses).
