- Shrew afterparty. Pan around the room as everyone sings "Wonderwall", accompanied by Tom "Petruchio" H. on guitar. Vicky and Iona swaying gently back and forth.
- Brief, unintentional film of Sam halfway up a tree, the tree trunk, grass.
- Three Legged night. Close shot of Tom "Not Petruchio" T. and Bethmo going "nyuh nyuh nyuh nyuh" for quite some time, never becoming aware that I'm not taking a picture, but rather filming them.
- Graduation dinner. Close shot of Alex the boy singing the words "There's only a certain amount of philosophy one person can absorb in a lifetime", then saying, "Wait, wait, I did it wrong...start again". "No, go on!" I cry, off-camera.
- Graduation dinner, moments later. Close shot of Alex the boy singing John 1:1 to the tune of that bit from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet (TAM taramta TAM taramta TAM taramta TAM TAM). My delighted laughter.
- The Anchor, last night in Cambridge. Dark, orangey light. Pan around the crowded table.
- Braeside kitchen, last night in Cambridge. Reece is trying to eat five cream crackers in one minute, and has so far only managed one mouthful. General cries of encouragement and countdowns around the room. Iona fetches a glass of water.
- The man known only as "DDR Hans" due to his Dance Dance Revolution proficiency and his name being Hans gets a perfect score on Dance Dance Revolution. "Have you ever seen anything like it?" says Eivind.
A theme of "people doing stuff somewhat against their better judgment, but to my immense delight" emerges, apart from the Anchor film, which was pure pre-nostalgia.
