Genre Research: Drama

This is a powerpoint that covers the conventions we see in drama. In this powerpoint I stated a common lighting in drama, natural film lighting, and I also included an example. I listed a common camera angle in drama with a picture example. I also listed a common movement often seen in drama along with an example. Then I listed the common Mise-En-Scene in drama with examples. I then listed the elements of drama. I included 3 example films of drama. I also included the common sound in drama and an example video. I got my example video from YouTube. Inserting this video into my project was not very easy at first. But eventually I figured out how to insert videos from the internet into a PowerPoint. I listed what elements of drama that I liked. I also listed what elements of drama I did not appeal to me. I used transitions between my slides. I also had a dramatic song playing throughout the project. All of the pictures I used as examples in my project I got from google. This project helped me gain a better understanding of specific things like Mise-En-Scene, elements of a genre (drama in this case, and more. But also helped me notice things that I would never really pay attention to before like "sound" and "camera angles". Of course I would hear sounds like dialogue when watching a movie but things like "diegetic sound" are things I never paid attention to. When watching movies I would always notice when the camera angle would change but I would never identify from which angle the camera was being held. This project taught me a lot about the different aspects of drama.
