Are you OK? | 0:00:33 | 0:00:34 | |
Are you going to talk to me today, or...? | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |

# Driving home she grabs something to eat | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
# Turns a corner and drives down her street | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
# Into a row of houses she just melts away | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
# Like the scenery in another man's play | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
# Into a house where the blinds are closed | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
# To keep from seeing things she don't wanna know | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |

HE PLAYS A GENTLE TUNE | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
-Sorry. -That's amazing, where did you learn to play like that? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
My dad taught me. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
Oi! Ludo, wait! | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
Please, Miss, I really don't want to get expelled. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
Look, I won't tell Mrs Jenkins. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
If you promise to play like that in our next session. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
Yeah? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
All right? | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
Can you try this one for me? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
-What is it? -It's my favourite song. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
Arms out, please. Thank you. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |

Thank you. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
Lud, all right, bud? | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
God, I missed you, boy. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Hiya, babe. All right? | 0:05:45 | 0:05:46 | |
-Shane! -What's the matter? -Back to your seat, Cooper. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
Right. Come and sit down. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
-All right? -Yeah. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
God, look at you. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
Shooting up now, aren't you? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
You're getting as big as me now! | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
You've got to laugh. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:07 | |
So... How's school? All right? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
Yeah. Yeah, it's been good. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
-Lessons are boring, but... -Yeah? | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
How's your mam, all right? | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
She's OK, yeah. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-You looking after her? -Yeah. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:30 | |
Aye, good boy. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
Good boy. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
So, what's she been up to, then? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:37 | |
Hanging around with her boyfriend. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
But it'll be just like it used to, when you're out. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
You and Mum, you can take me bike riding. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
-We can go to the cinema. -Yeah. -We can carry on piano lessons. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
Yeah, we can. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:58 | |
Um... Look, I... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
I've got something to tell you, all right, bud. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
I didn't get parole this time. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
-You promised. -I'm sorry. -You said two weeks! | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
Don't be like that. Lud! Lud! It's six months, Lud. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
They said I can try again. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:17 | |
Lud! Don't walk away, man. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
Lud! Come here! Jen! | 0:07:20 | 0:07:21 | |

Just... | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
carry on playing. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
No, stop it! | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
It's not on. What about me? You've got responsibilities to me, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
and us as well, and nothing's getting done. I'm not having it. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
No, I'm not having it. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
Are you listening to me? I'm not having it! | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
-I'm sorry... -Now, shut up and just get in the car. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
Have they forgotten the bloody eggs? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
Do me a favour, love, go back in and tell them, will you? | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
Don't ignore me. Go! | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |

INAUDIBLE SPEECH | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Right. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
OK, she said no to this Friday's concert. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
But if you keep practising, then... | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
-Why bother?! -..we've got plenty of time for the next... | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |

-Ludo's on the piano. -What? -He's trying to play in our concert. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
-Ludo, get down off that stage! -Give him a chance. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-Get him down off there. -Ssh! | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
Ssh! Just listen to him play. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:23 | |
I don't want to listen to him play. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
Ssh! | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
-Get him off! -What's he doing? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
You're making a fool of yourself. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
Get off the stage! | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
AUDIENCE AND CHILDREN CLAMOUR | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
AUDIENCE QUIETENS DOWN | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
Even though it's summer holidays, | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
Hawthorn School in Pontypridd is a hive of activity. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
A production team from the TV scheme It's My Shout has descended | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
for the filming of Ludo. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
The first draft probably took me about... | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
only a couple of weeks, to be honest. I scribbled some notes down | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
over an hour, and then I typed it up over a couple of weeks | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
and then just submitted it. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:19 | |
In a way, I suppose every writer has part of themselves | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
in everything they write. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:23 | |
So when I grew up, I grew up on a council estate, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
it had, like, single-parent families, | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
it had dads that weren't around, so it's got those elements within it. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
OK, so the character I'm playing is Ludo. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
He's a 13-year-old boy, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
and he's a bit of a troublemaker. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:38 | |
Yeah, he gets into fights at school, | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
usually because he's getting bullied. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
Ludo stays happy playing piano. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
He finds it very soothing to play. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
Once me and my brother entered this talent show. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
He was, like, playing the piano, I was obviously singing. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
Yeah, we came third in the end. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
And it was, like, our first time doing it. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
Come on, Jack. Let's rock this joint! Hit it! | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
'We were called the White Brothers. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
'I played piano, usually Jerry Lee Lewis. And my brother sang it.' | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
Although the crew made full use of the school location, | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
and even shot the prison scene in one of the classrooms, | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
the hall was a million miles from the kind of location | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
imagined in the original script. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
Like, the first draft, it was set in the Millennium Centre, | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
there was, like, a thousand extras. It was this big performance. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
When we come to Hawthorn High School and saw the battered old piano | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
that we've used, but it's still got character, | 0:16:37 | 0:16:42 | |
and it kind of matches who Ludo is. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
Having so many people in the hall | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
was obviously a big challenge, | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
mainly just to cover everybody | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
and get reactions from different characters. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
There's not a lot of dialogue within the scene. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
So it was important to get the reactions | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
and to tell the story through those reaction shots. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
It's just that moment, because he just sits on the piano, | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
he's getting bullied, even the teacher's shouting at him to get off the stage. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
And then when he starts playing, | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
everyone's just quiet and everyone just watches it. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
Filming the piano being played | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
presented a challenge for the sound department. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
We recorded the piano in the BBC. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
The reason for that is because, | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
obviously, the environment we were in in the school hall, | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
with people in the background speaking and all that, | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
we don't want to pick that up on the track. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
So, we record in a different environment | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
where it's a lot quieter, and it's better, | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
and we can play it back, then. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
On the Monday, I went into Roath Lock, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
there were about five different mics everywhere. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
There was... I don't know how many it was. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
There were two in the piano, one a bit back a bit, | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
and they wanted sound from all different areas. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
And I played about three times. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
I think they picked the best one. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
The film not only gave Jack White his first leading role, | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
but also revealed his talents as a musician. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
Jack White, the actor who's playing Ludo, as soon as we saw him, | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
I liked... His look was good, his mannerisms were nice, | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
and he's a really nice kid as well. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
But it wasn't until the second audition | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
that he actually played piano. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
And as soon as he played, that was it then - | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
we were like, "Wow, this kid is special." | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
The actor we were looking for to play Ludo, | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
we were looking for someone who was going to be very natural. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
The piano playing was kind of a massive bonus when we found Jack. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:30 | |
The piece when Ludo is discovered by Mrs Steele | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
was Jack's own composition, which was really helpful, | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
because we were struggling to retain the rights | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
to other tracks by Einaudi, and Jack volunteered his own work, | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
which obviously we don't need the rights for. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
I'm more of a listener-learner on piano. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
I usually listen to a song, and I play off that. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
I can read music, I just look at the music just as a basic structure. | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
I would play little bits to him. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
And he would love it, and he'd want to have a go, | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
so I'd let him have a go on the piano. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
And I just knew straightaway, I'm thinking, "Hang on a minute, | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
"you're so little yet you can play a little bit of classical, like that." | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
The crew actually came outside quite tearful, | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
because they'd seen his journey as well | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
and they've got the whole journey | 0:19:19 | 0:19:20 | |
of getting all that cast and crew and everything together | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
and to have that one moment where he's amazing and he plays | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
and everyone's just completely still and silent, just watching him, | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
I think it's quite special. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:29 |
