Archival Footage

So, this is a short film about the telephone system, from the early 1950's. This is for a dystopia trailer about a world based around standardized testing, so most of the film doesn't apply at all; however there are some short clips that might work. Anything from 7:51 to 8:12 without the audio could be used when talking about how people's lives are controlled by test scores. Although the dotted roll of paper are actually phone data, we could use it as people's test scores or the answer key for the test, or something. This would be put at the beginning of the trailer during the voice-over describing the society.

I don't think that we're really going to use that much archival footage for our trailer. What we really need is footage of a large room with people all quietly hunched over desks, preferably in black and white; however, I haven't managed to find that anywhere. Also we might use numbers flashing across the screen, either to show that the people are just numbers in a testing system, or to show how test scores control the citizen's lives.
