Drama -Genre Research

The genre of drama, the purpose of a dramatic storyline is to move the audience emotional. These films strongly depend on the development of realistic characters encountering their emotions and their issues. Drama films usually concentrate on the main character him/her/itself as they are facing their issues emotional. The on-screen actors encounter a different role in which other genres wouldn’t allow them to do; due to the build of character throughout the plot as the character dramatically change, engaging with the audience.
The characteristics of dramatic films contain many factors: they portray a character's journey and developments, exhibits real life characters, situations, settings and stories, involves intense social interaction, dramatic sound, and exaggerated performance. The genre of drama can also become of a hybrid, for example, dramatic comedy,a dramatic film that uses an equal, or nearly equal balance of humour and serious content. Although the two genres seem completely different, it comes together as a pretty popular hybrid. A popular movie such as Love Actually is an example of the dramatic comedy genre.In the film,Love Actually, contains nine intertwined stories examine the complexities of the one emotion that connects us all: love.The plot is a mixture of laughter and tears.

From this, I realize that not only the story has to be relatable but it also has to contain some realistic features of emotions to fully engage the audience.
