It will take the viewer on a pub crawl through six of Yorks most unique and historical public houses, giving the viewer a taste of each pubs atmosphere, unique characteristics and local significance. LENGTH: 7 minutes AUDIENCE: this video is aimed at the college students who attend York St. John and more specifically, its international students. Although Yorks pubs are memorable, some students (for unspecified reasons) might have trouble remembering their time in these pubs. Six Pints Please! will add impact to the stories of hand-pulled ales & half-price specials, drinking contests & pub crawls these students take home to their family and friends. FORMAT: I. INTRODUCTION (20 seconds) - a brief voice-over introducing York with shots of a couple main TOURIST attractions (the Minster, the City Walls, the Shambles) then announcing this programs intention to highlight Yorks main STUDENT attraction - its pubs! II. MAIN TITLES (10 seconds) - the programs title & production credits backed by a fast-paced drinking song (ie. Spirit of the West - Home For A Rest) III.

CONCLUSION (30 seconds) - this program will conclude with the narrator seen standing at the counter as a bartender pulls a Guinness.
