We were given a week to create a rough idea for our Drama piece before pitching it in front of our tutor and class. We created a Facebook group for all of us to arrange times and days for meeting up and we decided to meet over a couple of days to decide on a rough idea for the pitch. We all discussed various ideas and in the end decided that we wanted our Drama to feature a strong female character alongside a male character who, isn't a stereotypical weak juxtaposition to the female, but someone who needs to stand up for themselves.
Heather and Tom suggested ideas loosely relating to the current issues in Russia and Ukraine; with forces in Russia taking charge over Ukraine and we found this a slightly similar theme in our Drama ideas with the female character taking a more dominant role than the male. We decided to come up with names to make it easier talking about the characters' roles and after much deliberation, we decided to use the names I suggested which were 'Lola' and 'Larry'. In comparison to the Documentary, I already feel more involved in the group and with project ideas as we were all given equal chances to share ideas.
In the end, our final idea features Lola; an independent female, and Larry; someone who has just lost their job but is told by Lola that he needs to stand up for himself in the future. We all favoured the idea of giving the female a stronger personality than the male and decided our third and final character would be Larry's boss; seen firing him in one of the scenes. Finally, in preparation for the pitch we discussed what we were all going to say and were happy with the final idea.
