Genre Research | Drama

 In the drama genre, the common shots are close up, long shot, bird's eye/high angle shot, over the shoulder shot, medium shot, and extreme close up. The common angles and movements in a genre angle are high angles, panning, tilting, and zooming. The sounds in a drama film are mostly dialogue. Clamps are a very important part of a drama film. The costumes are usually regular clothes. The makeup is simple makeup to make the actors look more presentable. The actors in a drama film definitely change how well the movie will do. An actor who is known to be a really good actor will make certain scenes stand out more than others. The props aren't usually anything special, maybe a knife or something similar. And the setting definitely sets the mood for the whole scene changing how well and real the scene can feel. 

Common editing in the drama genre is adding various different shots of an important moment. When there's a climactic scene in a movie the director will take shots from multiple different angles for dramatic effect. The jump cuts are usually clean between the end of a scene. Popular drama movies are films such as Highschool Musical, Twilight, and The Breakfast Club. I find drama movies kind of relatable. In drama movies where the main cast is teens, the suspense between the characters or the awkwardness is intriguing. And sometimes the drama aspect somehow makes the film funny. Although I don't like how drama films are predictable. It's not rare to find a drama film where the audience can usually guess how the movie ends without even watching it. The film can also overexaggerate how the cause and effect of a character's action will have a huge unrealistic change in the entire film.
