Identifing genre

THE GENRE I HAVE SELECTED FOR MY SHORT FILM IS 'DRAMA'

As discussed earlier, drama film is a film genre that depends mostly on in-depth development of realistic characters dealing with emotional themes. these themes basically involve child abuse,poverty, sexual abuse,moral dilemas,corruption, society and much more.

So basically drama films are usually based on real life examples and represents common man in one way or another.
Like many other genres, drama is also sub-categorized into genres like social drama, romantic-drama,psycho-drama,melo-drama,docu-drama etc. 

My movie would be based on social drama.This basically is a dramatic treatment of social issues that very powerfully connects audience emotions with real life situations.Such films are not only meant for entertainment but also use creative methods to reinforce and portray a message to the audience.

This genre includes films like 'The dead man walking','Black Friday' and 'This is England'

I have identified my genre as a Social Drama as it is takes a very social approach of how one fights against the status quo. How he challenges the authorities and what consequence he then has to face. This is one genre that i believe we all can relate to as it deals with the real issues and that was the main reason i went with this genre.

The main conventions of a social drama according to me is a dramatic narrative.All movies of this genre has representation of either a social group, a specific gender or  a specific system.

In my short film I would be using realistic characters,representing those who oppose dictatorship.
