Genre Research- Drama


Drama

CAMS-

  • Dramas are usually associated with extremely close up shots, bird eye views, medium shots, over the shoulder shots and close ups. 

MIS-EN-SCENE

  • For drama's things like setting, props, and costumes may vary but in regards to things like acting and make-up they are usually the same. Through most of the movies viewed, drama's are usually associated with serious acting, not a lot of joking around.
  • The makeup like most films that aren’t superhero movies, are natural. Same for costumes, the just depend on the characters 
Editing-
The editing always has some kind of foreshadowing. They try to let the characters know that something is going to happen through the way they edit the sequence is very fore-shadowy.

Sound- 
The sound happens to vary, but it’s normally a very still-sounding no word track playing. Like horror movies, not a lot of descriptions

Examples of dramas would be Little Women, The fallout, and After

Things I love about the opening sequences are the usage of closeup’s, and over the shoulder shots. Definitely would use that

Things I don’t like would be the lack of words in the tracks they play.

  INT. GROCERY STORE – DAY Rachel is in grocery store buying produce by her mother’s request, she tussles with the cashier over the price of the item she is buying.

Sure, let me grab that off you It’s 1.07 RACHEL   Can you spare 7 cents, I only have a dollar CASHIER That’s too bad, go down to a farmers’ market, it’s probably cheaper RACHEL Are you kidding me, the only farmers market in the area is 6 miles from here You can’t give me a discount or something CASHIER Listen kid, my job is to ring up items, take the money and give costumers their food. I’m not a salvation army, either pay full price or get out. RACHEL (Starts towards the exit) Whatever, it’s just an onion anyway                             ...

Im Ready!

 Hey there, nice seeing you again, its me David Brown and I have a story to tell you. I have just received the instructions of the final project. I am absolutely excited for this opportunity. I have an entire semester of knowledge and I think I am absolutely prepared for this assignment. The project seems like a bit much overall, but with the help of my teachers and my partner I think this is a challenge I can take on. Not only that this project also seems very interesting. The project allows me to go through a differing process that can end up teaching me a lot. Also the project allows me interact with a celebrity of my choice. That honestly sounds like the best thing ever and to be able to use their work for my own very project.  My interest in the project is not the only thing that makes me qualified. I have other characteristics that i have gained throughout this course that I will be definitely be using. One of these characteristics is my hard work ethic. I will definitel...

My New Group

 For this project I have decided not to work with the same partner I worked with before on the previous project. In the past I worked with one other person her name was Aljeanae. The group I was in before was not necessarily bad but instead it just wasn’t my preferred environment. The work ethic and the work done wasn’t very comparable. I enjoyed doing the project before very much and I also enjoyed my partner I just believe it could have gone smoother. In the moment dealing with her I didn’t realize the difference in our work. This quickly changed after the assignment was done and the CCR was complete. I decided the best decision was to just separate myself from the partner entirely and start over. Not only that, another thing to take into consideration is that I am able to work with people outside of our class for this project. Also all the work will be done off of the campus. Aljanae doesn’t live very close to me and doesn’t have a reliable source of transportation as well ...
