Tape #3

U-Matic S tape containing silent footage shot for the city's Neighborhood Shopping Days campaign of the interiors of a store in Mexicantown, the interior of a Mexican restaurant, and the interior of a shoe store.

The tape begins with a sequence shot in a Mexicantown store. The crew white balances the camera, then a woman purchases a pinata.

Next three womena are filmed eating at a table at Xochimilco. A waitress comes to the table with an additional plates and poses for the camera. The camera then films a painting on display in the restaurant.

The remainder of the tape was shot inside a shoe store, presumably near Gratiot Avenue and 7 Mile Road, as indicated by the tape's label. The crew white balances the camera. Multiple takes follow of clerks helping a woman try on shoes, and showing her handbags.

The video is on a 3M MBU-18 U-Matic S tape with a handwritten 3M label on its top. The tape is housed in a black plastic latching case with matching labels on its cover and spine.
