Film Adaption Pre-Production
In terms of sound for pre-production there was not much I could do except have a look at the script and figure out what sounds I might want to use in post, so I made some notes on the script for ideas I may have. Before shoot we also went round to Jacks to do a test shoot. While practicing in the hallway I quickly realised we would not be able to record clean dialogue in the stairwell as Jack lives on busy Gorgie Road with buses passing by every 2 minutes. I decided to have a chat with Zoe Irvine who recommended changing location as there is not an easy way to take out passing traffic in post. She suggested if worst comes to worst she could assist me with ADR, which I was reluctant to do as I have never done it before and knew it would pose as a challenge. I relayed my concerns to Sofia and Ben about the noisy hallway and offered my stairwell up as a substitute. We did a quick recce at mine and realised the sound would be better there so changed the location for the stairwell scenes.

The other pre-production work I did was creating the call sheets, I also offered to help on the schedule and did fill a lot of it out, however they were kind of a shot list/schedule mash up so I found them quite difficult to understand as the shots weren’t named. However, Sofia and I worked together and managed to get some schedules put together to follow on set.

I also helped ut set dressing on the day before our shoot in Jack's flat, I owned quite a few bits and bobs that fitted quite well into the aesthetic of the stars/sun and moon etc so I brought a lot of that a long and helped set up:)

Edinburgh women negotiate the gradients of the old town, bringing home their washing from the steamie
Bicep curls and thigh burning lunges, twists, lifts and muscle-aching stretches – it must have been the ultimate workout in the most unlikely of places.
These days we spend a small fortune on fitness classes and gym memberships. But in granny’s day, all you needed to shape up, was a few regular trips to the ‘steamie’.
Shoving a pram full of clothes and sheets to the wash house would have been one way to get the heart pumping – even before the back-breaking task of trying to lift sodden sheets and towels from the hot tub of soapy water into the cold one for a rinse.
Then feeding endless pairs of your man’s newly scrubbed dungarees through a hand mangle would probably have done more for keeping the bingo wings at bay than any number of Zumba classes.
The women who passed endless hours scrubbing and wringing, folding and hanging up also had the added benefit of the camaraderie of the wash house – a place where the banter could be as spicy as that of any male-dominated factory, the laughs just as raucous and the support network in times of need, vital.
Incredible as it sounds, Edinburgh’s wash houses were still operating in the early 1980s, nearly a century after concerns over the city’s terrible infant death toll, cholera and disease led to public health pioneers pushing for their construction.
The first wash house appeared 90 years earlier after it became clear that Edinburgh’s authorities had to step in to tackle a public health crisis.
Urban areas like the Old Town were so poor, they had no facilities for washing in the houses and a lot of places didn’t have running water,That led to diseases, in particular cholera, which spread through dirty clothing and beddinThe hope was that by providing public wash houses, they could start to sort out the terrible infant mortality.”
For many Old Town residents, wash day had involved a trip to the Nor Loch, to rinse out garments among the sewage and stench of slaughterhouse waste which flowed into the water. Others made do with public water fountains, dirty burns or whatever source of water they could find.
While Edinburgh’s authorities had the power from 1880 to begin construction of wash houses, there was a 12-year delay while efforts were made to find the right locations for the new facilities. Meanwhile in Glasgow, wash houses were already up and running.
Edinburgh’s first opened at St Gray’s Close in the Old Town in 1892 – and immediately locals were queuing out of the door in the hope of finally having clean clothing and bedding. Stockbridge wash house in Allan Street followed in 1903 and Simon Square at St Leonards in 1908.
Eventually there would be ten more built at locations across town: Greenside Lane, Lochrin at Tollcross, MacLeod Street serving Gorgie, Causewayside, Abbeymount at Abbeyhill, Adelphi Grove in Portobello, Bonnington Road/Great Junction Street in Leith, Henderson Row in Canonmills, Union Street and Murdoch Terrace, Dalry.
The wash houses were constructed along similar lines – a large central hall where the tubs were positioned, a heated chamber with drawers for clothes to be dried, office space and a coal-fired boiler room.
Remarkably given the era, most had a crèche.
The first one at St Gray’s Close didn’t and children were being scalded,So it was decided to create a crèche so women could get on with doing the washing while the children were looked after.
The work was sweat-�inducing, with heavy loads of bedding and clothes being plunged into hot tubs, rubbed with hard soap and then cleaned with a ‘wash dolly’ before being fed through a hand mangle. Soaking items were then hung in the drying area – often emerging within an hour, bone dry.
As washing machines became more compact and efficient, the wash houses fell into disuse and despite a lively political battle between Labour and Tory politicians over their future – and angry demonstrations by loyal users desperate to keep them alive – the last wash house closed in 1982.
Some became warehouses or car showrooms before being demolished. Today only three remain: at Adelphi Place in Portobello, now a community centre, MacLeod Street at Tynecastle which is expected to be earmarked for demolition and at Union Street, the base for Edinburgh Printmakers and where there are markings on the walls referring to the building’s previous use.
There was this feeling that they were part of the bad old others thought of them as being like a community centre and very much a women’s environment, run by women and for women. There seems to have been a great deal of sadness when they closed.

Hibernian v Hearts: Smashed windows & cult heroes – derby day in Edinburgh
Boyhood Hibernian fan Ian Murray made over 250 appearances for the Easter Road club
Scottish Premiership: Hibernian v Heart of Midlothian Venue: Easter Road Date: Sunday, 22 September Kick-off: 15:00 BST Coverage: Listen to BBC Radio Scotland and follow live text commentary on the BBC Sport Scotland website & app
Derby day in Edinburgh is always fraught, but Sunday’s meeting at Easter Road carries even greater anxiety than usual.
Hibernian, meek and flailing after a bright start to life under Paul Heckingbottom, have not won a Premiership game since the opening weekend. Heckingbottom’s raft of summer signings has made little impact and pressure is mounting on the head coach.
Things are worse in Gorgie. Hearts sit bottom of the league, winless in 12 top-flight matches with fans baying for the dismissal of Craig Levein. The manager retains the public backing of owner Ann Budge but sating the irate supporters will be extremely tough.
This will be a clash of consequence for each boss; the heat could rise or cool depending on who prevails.
Here, four veterans of this huge fixture shed a light on the magnitude, the emotions and the tumult of the battle to be crowned kings of Scotland’s capital.
‘Our bus got bricked that night’
In October 2013, Hearts were bottom of the table with a callow squad. They started the season on minus 15 points as punishment for entering administration and were rank outsiders to knock Hibs out of the League Cup at Easter Road.
Ryan Stevenson was one of Hearts’ remaining senior players. That day, he lashed in the glorious winner in a 1-0 victory. Hibs had James McPake sent off and the bad feeling spilled over, home fans waiting to confront Hibs boss Pat Fenlon, who left his post two days later.
“Our bus got bricked that night. The side window had been put in when we came out so we had to get escorted away,” Stevenson recalls. “It gives you a wee bit more motivation for the next one.
“I understood my record as well: ‘I’ve not lost here in so many games, I’m definitely not losing this one’. It just kept propelling us. We just knew how to win derbies, we even knew how to draw games with Hibs when we weren’t playing well.”
Stevenson played in 15 derbies between 2010 and 2014, losing only three. Hearts bossed the fixture in those days. When Stevenson arrived, the management team of Jim Jefferies, Billy Brown and Gary Locke hammered its importance into their players.
Ryan Stevenson’s Hearts dominated Hibs during his time at Tynecastle
“We would get on the bus to the stadium and they were playing videos of all the Hearts goals in the derbies, Hearts wins, the Hearts songs playing – you were going to war, basically. It was made clear to you how much it meant to the fans; losing was never an option,” Stevenson says.
“Even the year we got relegated in 2014, I remember when Hibs were coming to Tynecastle knowing a win would relegate us and it was all about how they were coming for a party. The amount of pressure on the young Hearts boys to not get relegated by Hibs.
“I remember going into the changing room and we were all relishing it. We never, ever thought, ‘Here we go, we could get relegated today’. It was always just, ‘Aye, we’ll show them’ and we won 2-0.
“In my time at Hearts, we felt Hibs were a bit soft. They had very good players but we had a core of men. Marius Zaliukas, Rudi Skacel, Andy Webster, all boys I would look up to if the games weren’t going as well as we’d hoped. Whether they’ve got that now… they’re sitting bottom of the league, so I think that tells you.”
What’s the upshot for the loser?
Ian Murray is a lifelong Hibs fan. He played for and captained the club during two spells, making over 250 appearances. Now managing Airdrieonians after stints in charge of Dumbarton and St Mirren, he rejects any suggestion that Sunday’s losing boss could also find themselves out of a job.
“All the noise is coming out of media and fans to an extent, but I don’t think it’s quite as critical as it’s being made out to be,” he says.
Murray resigned as St Mirren manager after just six months at the helm in December 2015 amid a poor run of form. The final straw was a 1-0 defeat by his previous club. The former defender says the fates of Heckingbottom and Levein will not hinge on a single game, but each boss will know if the time is right to walk.
“The general feel around the place wasn’t great, maybe like the situation at Hibs and Hearts,” Murray recalls. “You just get a feeling that you know what, it’s gone too far, nobody’s enjoying it, not just the supporters, but the coaching staff are thinking, is it really worth going through all this?
“That could be the case on Sunday night, but I just don’t see that happening.”
What about the glory?
Kevin Kyle won both Edinburgh derbies he played in for Hearts
Kevin Kyle loved his two years at Tynecastle. The towering striker rattled home an 86th-minute derby winner at Tynecastle on New Year’s day in 2011, etching himself into Hearts folklore.
“When I signed, I didn’t know what it would be like,” he says. “When I arrived and experienced it, I realised it’s a massive club. The fans have big expectations and it can be too much for some of the players.
“Eight years down the line, every time I go to Edinburgh somebody knows me or says, ‘There’s the big man, scored in a New Year derby against Hibs’.
“It’s only one goal but I’m a cult hero because of that. I appreciate that, it’s absolutely magic. That day I did the man-of-the-match speech, jumped in the car and went home and had a Chinese with the missus. Now I think, ‘Why didn’t I go out in Edinburgh that night and milk it?'”
Should Heckingbottom ‘do it the Hibs way’?
John Hughes was a colossus at the back for Hibernian, ferociously proud of his Leith heritage. He captained Hibs to a famous 3-0 triumph at Tynecastle in the “millennium derby” of 1999 but never beat Hearts in four attempts as manager at Easter Road.
“We were all football, football, football,” he says of the team he led for just over a year from 2009. “It was like two boxers – if they want to come out swinging, we’ll just dance around them. That was our whole philosophy. But sometimes in a derby you have to change it.
“Defensively, Hibs are going to have to stand up to the physical challenge. That worries me. You know what you’re getting from Hearts. You know it’ll get battered right at you and you have to stand up to it. If Heckingbottom wants to go more total football, he’s got the technical players to do that on the big pitch at Easter Road.
“If it works, and you get the victory, that’s doing it the Hibs way. That’s magnificent.”
