Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Fits editorial and documentary requests for 1980s vacation travel portrait footage; useful as a candid personal-memory insert in retrospectives about Mexico or early-1980s leisure culture.
Period detail: Oversized dark-tinted sunglasses and dark top with patterned neckline detail are consistent with early-1980s fashion; the 1982 date is supported by metadata.
Home-movie behavior: The woman's spontaneous smile and direct engagement with the camera suggest an unstaged tourist snapshot moment typical of personal vacation filmmaking.
What appears in frame: Smiling woman with curly dark hair, oversized dark-tinted sunglasses, dark top, patterned neckline, rough stucco wall background with purple-lavender color cast, film grain throughout.
Film character: A pronounced purple color shift, visible film grain, and motion blur during the pan-away are characteristic of aged 8mm home-movie stock, lending authentic period texture.
Edit role: Functions as a candid portrait insert or memory-beat cutaway in travel, nostalgia, or personal-history documentary sequences; the pan-away provides a natural transition out.
Historical context: Acapulco was a prominent international resort destination in the early 1980s; home-movie vacation footage from this era documents middle-class leisure travel culture of the period.
Research note: An identifiable adult face is clearly visible across two frames; editorial use requires independent likeness rights assessment — copyright ownership rests with the original filmmaker.
Research search match: Researchers may look for 1980s Mexico vacation footage, home movie woman portrait sunglasses, candid 8mm travel film Latin America, or vintage tourist portrait 1982.
Archive pairing path: Best paired with other clips from the same Acapulco 1982 reel, then with 1980s Mexico travel footage, then with candid home-movie portrait moments of women on vacation.
