"A Working Student" explained..

I wanted to do something cheeky, and funny, but found it hard to come up with an idea, initially I was going to make Amy a bar maid as her job, but i didn't feel like there was enough contrast between law student and bar maid, as a bar maid is something that a lot of students do, and its not really something she would hide from her friends!
I thought the idea of a City Maintenance worker was a good idea, because its something that has to be done at night when there is no one about, and its usually a job that you would see a man doing, so it is a dramatic twist to the storyline and I hope it will shock the audience. It is definitely something you could see a young girl hiding from her friends also! litter picking and street sweeping doesn't really say class, but neither does prostitute, so it shows that she is maintaining her integrity as well as the streets of London!!
It also gave me the opportunity to contrast my innuendo, and use phrases like "getting my hands dirty" and is an effective way of tricking the audience and using comedy at the same time!

I googled a job descriptions of a City Maintenance worker, this is one i found for a job being advertised, i think this provides a really good stereotype of what a street cleaner is no one would expect them to be a law student, this is why I think there will be a shock element to my piece.
