“Tonight the Chief informed me that he would like me to become an honouree member of the tribe. This is a great privilege as relatively few outsiders are admitted into the tribe as it is a very close knit community and tends to stick to its academic year.
The process for being admitted into the tribe is by way of the dirty pint, which we saw the shaman prepare and ferment early innate in student culture as a way of proving yourself to the rest of the tribe.
I will be taking the dirty pint along with Paul, a first year whom the chieftain has deemed worthy to join the group and become part of the group. Upon seeing the dirty pint the other day I was really feeling sorry for the poor chap and now I’m starting to get this feeling of dread. “
Narrative By Finian over the shots of the Event Gathering shots of people drinking beer, laughing MCU and CU shots of the fire.
“Student Culture tradition states that those who join the tribe must undergo an initiation, and in this tribe it is to consume the dirty pint a concoction of alcohol and condiments to prove their worth as a student. I’m going to meet the fresher who will be initiated and see how he feels.
Interview with Paul shot MCU of face from a low angle
FV: Hello Paul, nice to meet you
PK: Alright matey, you’re in for the pint as well i hear?
FV: Yes, it was quite a surprise for me, I feel so honoured to have been so readily accepted by your tribe, how you feeling about it?
PK: Bit nervous, I guess there will be quite a few people watching it and the attention will be on me, I just hope I don’t screw up or anything. Not looking forward to the taste either, but once its done I’ll be a lad and accepted into the tribe
FV: Yes I saw the preparation of it, doesn’t look pleasant, but once it’s done its done and you will be a full member of the tribe!
Pk: It means a lot to me, I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long long time, i’m going to prepare myself ready now. See you on the other side.
To camera MCU
“As part of the pre-ritual the Shaman selects a track for the new member to listen to before they take their rite of passage reflecting on their personality”
MCU of face from a low angle
FV: “So what have you selected for Paul and why?”
AT “ I have been observing what kind of a man Paul is for some time and have chosen Waterfall by the stone roses as his pre ritual track, i would say the track is about an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object which i feel is a good example of Pauls stoic approach to life”
CU of Pauls head in hands and swaying head, engrossed in the music.
FV: And have you any idea what my track will be?
