Camera Test (1924)

C/U of a man in a trilby talking to the camera, he appears to be standing in front of a heap of rubbish and ladders - looks like some sort of screen test! Few seconds of white spacing. High angled shot of smoking chimneys and roof tops, appears to be taken from the roof of a higher building. Few seconds of white spacing. More M/Ss of roof tops and smoking chimneys - looks like a city, probably London. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
