Drama
Drama films exhibit believable storylines which often contain a physical/mental journey, which moves the audience emotionally.
There are also many sub-genres of drama that can be interlaced within a storyline. Due to the context of our film, that could be:
- A crime drama - due to drugs, theft, etc.
- A tragic drama (melo drama) - due to the fact that the sister is ill and subsequently, she dies.
The Plot in a Conventional Drama
Everything appears normal - Something goes wrong
- Protagonist and helper sent on quest
- TWIST
- Protagonist and helper back on quest
- Meet/defeat villain
- 'Happily ever after' ending
All in all a drama film is full of peaks and troughs of emotion and action.
The Plot in our Film
- We don't show steps 1 or 2 in our film instead the audience just assumes
- that they were once a happy family and are now overcome by the girls' illness.
- Our protagonist (without a helper) goes on a quest to make money
- Audience realises that she was raising money for sister, not for personal gain
- Treatment doesn't work and sisters are back where they started, she's still ill
- Our characters don't defeat the villain (illness) as she dies
- Our film has no 'happily ever after'
