Hey everyone! Guess who's back with more of the latest scoop on what I have been working on? Like any project, it is difficult knowing where you wanna start. I knew that some important research was necessary during this process. I began with my research on genre, specifically, Drama. Personally, this genre is definitely in my top 5 favs because it is one I think most can relate to and is portrayed heavily on serious issues in the real world which may include topics such as Poverty, drugs, mental illness, racism, and sexism.
What to find within the Drama
Through the many ups and downs that occur within a Drama genre, we see many faces of a character and signs of struggle with the inner self or surroundings. A character might find themselves trying to find ways to cope with grief or struggling to find who they truly are. Emotional aspects are incorporated in order to display obstacles that the main subject might encounter along their emotional rollercoaster.
Examples of Drama movies/shows include...
FILM: Everyday FILM: 13 Reasons Why FILM: Babylon
YEAR OF RELEASE: 2018 YEAR OF RELEASE: 2017 YEAR OF RELEASE: 2022
Technical elements
From medieval times all the way to the present day, Drama can be incorporated into almost any time period. The genre can match any era as long as there is a clear understanding of the development of the character throughout the story. Along with these aspects, technical elements are a major part of the development of any Drama production.
- Color: Regardless of the time and place, coloring can play a significant role in the development of a character or sets a mood for the audience. For example, in a film like "13 Reasons Why," there is an obvious mute of color throughout most of the show which represents grief and sadness after the death of Hannah (main character). Colors are utilized in order to correspond with the feelings of the character(s) struggles.
-Sound: Under the sound element, sounds can vary. Whether it be slow melodies playing in the background or an escalation of violin music, music can create a sense of dramatic tone to dialogue or interaction between characters. Sound can also demonstrate rising and falling action in a particular scene.
