Jumpy, blurry dark and dull in contrast and imagery Flames Gut Housing Project A wall of flame sweeps at night through a multi-million dollar housing project under construction in the Montreal suburbs. Twenty apartment units are gutted during the spectacular blaze. Night shots; camera panning shots of a blazing fire that is absolutely out of control, nothing can possibly survive this fire if they were unlucky enough to be caught in the mist of it. CU - brief shot of a silhouette of three firemen fighting the blaze. Establishing shot in the morning, burned out structures, pure desolation.
