CU rower in front, then pan along rest of crew. CU one hat floating in river. GV river w castle behind trees. The boys rowing toward cam. and past. They do another synchronised routine standing up, raising hats and oars. GV Crowd on side. Closer shots of the upper class crowd, probably families of the boys. | |
