Weekly Log 3

Week 3
This week we rewrote again and again, mainly because parts I wrote weren’t feminine enough and didn’t capture the gossipy style the girls wanted the female characters to be e.g. ‘hi babe’ was changed to ‘hey babe’ and then what the girls wrote for the male characters, I felt and Kieren who acted in our radio drama agreed it was not what a male would say. The use of the word ‘babe’ we felt was used too frequently from a male viewpoint. Even at this stage, Jess took a leading role in our group which everyone else was happy for her to do; it was a healthy decision because it allowed everyone to make a contribution and challenge decisions but also saved arguing more than we needed to because Jess was more decisive.
