Fiction Adaptation: Capturing the 80s

My poem is set within 1980s Hackney and I wish to keep to the poem as a guild-line of the narrative as best I can. Trying to encapsulate 1980s England has required some information and references in order to get an idea what the era was like.

Sources:

- Stylistic elements from television programmes such as Ashes to Ashes, This Is England (2006) and Only fools and Horses.

- Information on fashion, groups and social differences over time through family relatives who lived in the Outskirts of London and grew up through the era.

- Research into race riots within 80s England.

Things for Consideration:

- Fashion

- Location

- Technology

- Music

- Transportation

- Editing
