Genre Research: Drama

 Common CAMS in the genre- High, low, and aerial angles. Over-the-shoulder, wide shots, close-up and Point-of-view shots. Also uses pan, dolly, and tilt camera movements.


Common CLAMPS in the genre- Depends on the movie, but costumes tend to be normal, everyday clothing. Makeup is natural, and not a lot of special effects makeup is used, unless a character is wounded. Drama films use the natural light to focus on creating drama through the storyline.

What elements of the genre that you like? - We find that Dramas are more relatable as they tend to display real life scenarios rather than made up ones. 


What elements of the genre do not appeal to you? - Some elements that do not appeal to us are that they exaggerate many real-life scenarios. Another element we didn't find appealing was that a lot of dramas are cliche.
