Genre Research: Drama

I am currently researching the genre drama, in this blog, I will be telling you all the different elements of it. The common sounds in drama are non-diegetic. Where there is background music playing as well as the dramatic sound that occurs. That helps the tone of the drama film. As well as the diegetic sound of the characters speaking. In the particular film, I watched the characters were speaking. But it was more so background noise and the focus was more so on the action of the characters. The costume in the drama that I watch as well as many others were very causal showing that the charters are in real life. The lighting in drama is usually low, shady, almost dark lighting. The actors are normally a variety of different people (shades, sizes, and ages). The props in drama are always the normal everyday thing that is used.(for example a phone) the editing in the drama is very dramatic with the scenes going fast from one to another. The editing is like a flashback to past instances that have happened in the charters' lives. Some examples of film in drama would be, LA Confidential, Scarface, and Paterson. The elements of the frame that I enjoy are the plot twist and how they'll be talking about a certain subject and turn to another one. That makes you rethink everything that you were watching before. The elements of the genre that I don't enjoy are the impractical dramatics. What I essentially mean by that is reactions from characters that would not occur in real life. Basically, the actor overdoing the performance, in a distasteful way. The genre of drama ultimately gives the audience a rollercoaster of emotions in the different scenes that take place.

Planning: Storyboard

I started the opening of the play with a gradual opening to create a bit of suspense but, also to give the audience some time to get ready. The added track shot also adds a feel of the audience being their walking with jack, it's overall more intimate. Then after the track shot, there is a fast shot of the play and or movie getting straight to the point. (starting the show) The black screen transition is untimely to show the audience that one scene has ended and that was moving on to something else. This helps with older audience viewers as well guiding them to the next scene. The close-up shots added also add drama with it being a shot that happens out of nowhere. Also, the back and forth shots of jack's pacing add suspense as well to over exaggerate the feeling that's taking place. The showing of the clock or time passes by as creates more drama that keeps our movie and or purgative on the right path. On what we ultimately wanted our theme to be. The medium shot adds a se...

                                                 Research Blog: Soft (2007)               Soft (2007) is a tense short film drama directed by Simon Ellis. The film is fifteen minutes long and depicts the terrorizing of a father and son by neighborhood teens. Throughout the film we see the emotions of the characters.

The conflict of the film is that while they are being terrorized the father doesn’t want to retaliate because of his fear and tries to keep the son from doing anything. Although both were assaulted only one wanted to do anything about it. The camera switches between a regular phone camera and the directors. The phone footage belongs to ...
