Genre
introduction and Audiences
Drama genre is my favorite
genre amongst all the genre reason being that it is the most realistic and easy
to relate genre that’s why I usually call it an audience genre. The target
audience of this genre is extremely vast, reason could be that the audience can
easily identify this genre and relate to it or maybe the reason could be that
in today’s world amalgamations of genres take place so often, where drama
always exists in almost all the films sometimes as a major genre and sometimes
as a sub genre. When we talk about genre so there are many elements/conventions
which come under the umbrella of genre after which a film is made and sold.
Narrative
and Characters
Drama is a genre where
firstly the characters, story and narrative structures are very much related to
life. They are realistic, with small problems/conflicts and conflicts are
always resolved in the end or in other words we say that majority of the drama
films have happy endings with dialogue like “and they lived happily ever after”.
In a drama film the audiences get emotionally attached to the characters who
are the protagonist or ‘hero’ of the film. In order to maintain the interest of
the audiences the drama films are written, shot and edited very cleverly. Drama
films have some peaks and troths and sometimes climaxes and anti climaxes are
also there in the film to seek complete attention of the audience.
Iconography
and Setting
Drama is the most vast
and diversified genre that’s why the iconography and setting is not specific
but role of both these elements is extremely important in drama genre. As when
icons, symbols, different props and setting are used properly in conventional
manner so it creates a real life feeling for audience and audience gets involve
in it for example sets of romance drama and action drama are made with high
budgets and lots of meaning to do justice with the audience.
