Interesting facts

Final Score is a 2007 Thai documentary film directed by Soraya Nagasuwan and produced by Jira Maligool. The film follows four Mattayom 6 students for one year as they take their university entrance exams.

Production

Producer Jira Maligool and director Soraya Nagasuwan started casting for subjects at tutor schools in the Siam Square in February 2005. From 100 candidates, they narrowed the search to 10 finalists and followed each for one day.

"I didn't want a student with particularly good grades or a kid who was always skipping school," the director was quoted as saying in The Nation newspaper.

A five-person crew followed Per and his three friends for one year, using a high-definition digital video camera. The boys were not interviewed and no shots were posed, the director said.

"Filmmakers often use interviews to manipulate attitudes. Questions are asked from the filmmaker's point of view so the answers can't be unconditional. That's why I prefer not to use that technique," Soraya said.

Director Soraya Nagasuwan had previously worked as an assistant director under producer-director Jira Maligool on The Tin Mine. Before that, she had directed the documentary short film, Amazing Thailand, about prostitution in Thailand. Jira said he chose Soraya for the Final Score project because he was impressed with her work on The Tin Mine. "She's very tough and has a special character.
