Ruins. As the camera turns, you ctch a glimpse of someone in the distance. Then more people, all of them ignoring each other.
These images of San Francisco after the Earthquake don't get good ratings on the IMDb, and the reason for that is obvious: they're all of one piece,: the ruins and wreckage, the turning camera, people showing up but not interacting. Yet at the time, they were much in demand, because the Earthquake was big, big news, and people wanted to know. There was no Internet, no broadcast media, newspapers were local. Even the movie newsreel hadn't been invented yet.
