I always liked the idea of having Amy talk straight to the camera, I got the idea for this from some of the first ever "Sex and The City" episodes where the main character "Carrie Bradshaw" speaks straight into the camera about whats going on, breaking the fourth wall, I think this makes everything a bit more personal. She is also very comical and it makes it very enjoyable, I think they only did it in the first episodes so they could portray the characters across in the way they wanted to, and so they could allow their characters to connect with the audience.
I also got the idea for the storyline of "A Working Student" from "The Secret Diaries of A Call Girl" The main character, has 2 identities, The first, Hannah, an average London girl, the second being Belle, who is an escort. I really like the way that Hannah speaks straight to the camera in this also, breaking the fourth wall, the way she speaks confidently tells us her story is interesting and comical, in "A Working Student" I have used a lot of these techniques, yet chosen to make it a bit more interesting, unlike Hannah/Belle, Amy is not open about her job, she keeps it to herself until the end when it is revealed that she isn't a prostitute like we are led to believe all the way through the film. I decided to do this as it is an interesting twist on the film and makes it comical and makes the audience think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8ThZGOKf6s
