Pre-Production: Production Log Week 5

This week we have been focusing on the monologue that will run throughout our opening sequence. Sorting out the direction of the monologue has been the key problem... Deciding whether to have Jamie walking through his life or a night out but then to have him focused on talking about his life or pointing out the flaws in the teachers and the general 9to5 routine.

One scene we looked at was the monologue from Made In Britain.

In this monologue Trevor directs his speech at authority.

                                                             Another we looked at was in Kes.

In this speech that Billy delivers to the class, he talks about his ambitions and hopes, that he won't have to go into mining later on in life. And talks passionately about his falcon, which has been his hobby.

We're taking aspects of these two monologues and merging them with the inspiration we had prior from watching the opening to trainspotting.
