Hi! Welcome back to my blog! In my last post we discussed both the romance and thriller genres in film. Today we will be discussing the drama genre. Many people sometimes confuse romance and thriller films for drama films so I think it will interesting to see how they differ.
To start off the drama genre focusses on characters emotions and how they handle conflict and changes. Obviously the drama genre is very dramatic and requires a lot of passion within the actors. In dramas, actors use a lot more than just words. They have to show emotion with their movements as well. Actions speak louder than words. A lot of common themes in drama include family and relationships, identity, morality and justice, and society and class.
I think after researching thriller, romance, and drama, I would want to do a romance for the film opening, I think it would be fun to do a meet-cute/love at first sight trope for the opening of a movie and I think I could portray it really well. When it comes to dramas and thrillers, I feel like it's harder to show that much emotion with just the first few minutes of a film opening.
Writing a Meet Cute — From Eternal Sunshine to La La Land, Romeo to Scott Pilgrim
I started researching how to write a meet cute and came across this video which taught me a lot on different types of meet cutes and how their portrayed. I think my favorite one was the push/push because I feel like it would be very fun to write about two characters who are both in a sort of conflict from the start, and see it come to life.
The movie they used for the push/push trope was "La La Land" Which i felt was a perfect example. Here is the scene that they gave as an example.
