Drama
The genre drama consists of serious issues or topics. Drama really embraces character development and the emotional struggles of said character. Typically, Drama enacts real life and serious situations. Telling a story on a characters strengths or weaknesses can also be conveyed through drama which has the capability of playing into character development.
Many production techniques are used in drama. Typically in TV film, the same characters will be present. This is done to develop character development. In addition, contrary to comedies or sit-coms, dramas will not have a laugh track or much if any stings. In TV, every episode will correlate with one or more storylines and help develop the story.
My first film sample is The Blind Side. This film not only has a lot of emotion but it is expressed through characters. As the film continues, the audience is presented characters dealing with internal conflict. Through this conflict, character development is prevalent. In addition, this film is based on a true story which allows the story to have a serious and almost relatable appeal to viewers.
My second piece of media is Gossip Girl. This is an american teen drama series that shines light upon wealthy individuals throughout a lot of episodes. Copios character development is shown here as well. Just like most drama series, every episode helps further the plot of one or more storylines. As previously mentioned in the paragraph above, many of the ideas represented throughout the show can also be seen in real life.
Other examples of Drama in media include:
The Godfather
Titanic
Saving Private Ryan
Game of Thrones
Fight Club
