Good morning!!
It is officially established that I am creating a drama production!
I have researched them to get a firm understanding of these conventions of drama so I can be highly prepared.
This is important because I need to have a
Now I present genre conventions of drama:
General overview:
-exhibits real life situations with realistic characters, settings and story lines
-portray journey of character development
-adds intense social interaction filled with climaxes and anti climaxes to keep the audience emotionally attached to the ongoing tension
-purpose: to move the audience emotionally through creating characters that the audience can relate to the characters
-ending happily with a form of realization
-heart of a drama is a conflict (internal or external) which depicts hardships, difficulty, and pain
-audience must be able to relate to the characters
-no fantasy elements
-represents real life
-shows best and worst life emotions
-may include sub dramas (I am going to create a drama with a sub genre of mental illness)
-challenges the ignorance of stereotypes
-therapeutic in a way because it shows the protagonist overcoming their difficulties
Elements of the Protagonist:
-goes through an emotional journey
-particularly unstable or vulnerable
-must face a tough decision
-easy to empathize and sympathize with
-has a lot in common with the target audience and therefore can be related to easily
Popular examples:
-Fight Club
-American Beauty
-Titanic
-Lady Bird
-Clueless
One very important genre characteristic that I found that I really though stuck out to me was the challenging the ignorance of stereotypes. As we know this was my original idea in terms of OCD so although I am no longer doing OCD specifically, I still hope to achieve this.
