More Genre Research!!

 HEY BLOG!

It's been a long time since my last blog post, I know, but I've been majorly procrastinating on my portfolio project, and it's finally time I get some stuff done and get back on track. The next few blog posts are gonna be detailing some other genres we have researched, and then I'm gonna reveal our idea to you guys. It'll be worth the wait I promise. 


Drama is I think one of the broadest film genres, including movies like A Star is a Born, but also Uncut Gems, and even things like The Florida Project. Although these all have their own subgenres such as musical, action, and horror, they all fall under drama because of the underlying stories beneath the plot, such as a character's struggles, personal growth, or two characters falling in love etc. Furhtermore, Dramas are very plot driven, relying on characters in a scene to move the usually intesne plot forward. I thought it was best to research this genre, considering it covers a lot. 


In terms of techniques, dramas often tend to create a sense of conflict, show tragedy, or set a certain tone. This is done in a variety of ways, including the use of close up shots,  that bring the viewer into the emotions and intesity of a scene.

Example from: The Florida Project

Close up shots like these fully immerse the audience into the moment. This is definilty a technique I want to incorperate into my film, as I've noticed how it creates emotion and intensit. 

Thats it for thisn posting, but dont worry I have lots more on the way!!
