Eleven: Our Genre

Our genre is an independent Drama that appeals to all ages. I have researched some conventions of the Drama genre and included some of these key conventions to our film:

Exhibits real life situations with realistic characters, setting and narrative.
Portrays journeys of character development.
Purpose of a dramatic storyline that will move the audience emotionally.
Audience can somehow relate to the characters.
Structured with climaxes and anti climaxes to keep the audience tense.
The heart of the story is conflict.
A form of realisation at the end.
In most films it concentrates on normal characters that are dealing with a conflict or dilemma. Dramas often give actors a chance to stretch into a role that other genres wouldn't allow them to do. This is because drama films focus on building up characters that the audience can engage with.
Our film is more of a melodrama. Our plot appeals to the heightened emotions of the audience. These films often put the character in danger to appeal to the emotions of the audience.

The Protagonist:
The central character in the film who is often put under trails so that these characteristics can be exposed to the audience.

The Antagonist:
 The Antagonist will usually to the extreme length to get exactly what they want even if it hurts other characters. This character primarily looks out for them-self and seems to posse little empathy towards any character.

Our film breaks the convention as all does not end happily for the protagonists. It's a very sad ending for our central character Blake.
