Genre Blog: What's my bloodline ability?

 Drama genre defined by the internet: "A narrative fiction (or semi-fiction) intended to be more serious than humorous in tone"

Common camera: angles, movements, and shots: 

    Common shots and angles used in drama movies are close up, used to emphasize; a long shot (sometimes referred to as a wide shot) shows the action or setting of a scene; birds eye view, used to imply meaning; over the shoulder to make the impact of a scene feel like a gut punch; medium shots to show intention and to emphasize body language and extreme close ups to add tension. My examples for what is shot/angle does it just the usual for what it is, it can also be used to do other things, these are like the... stereotypes.  

Common mise-en-scenes:

    Setting and atmosphere tend to be gritty, grey/cool and dark when it's a more serious movie, a lot more natural. When it's more camp (or over the top) it has a lot of brighter colors and it's vibrant. Dramas stick to the themes, clothing and props of a time period really well, if it's old timey it never has phones (and sometimes lacks cameras even when very much around absolutely) if it's modern you can often hear AC or see modern kitchen appliances. Unless it's over the top it's very good at sticking to the conventions of the times, out of time things are often to use for the dramatics. Makeup is the only outlier, as it's often a lot more modern unless wanting to show an "out of touch" character. Setting is often more realistic unless mixed with fantasy. 

Common editing techniques:

    Drama often use jump cuts, action match and insert to emphasize action or certain important details. However they tend to avoid things that'll break the flow of time or a sense of continuity. Like stated before, they try to keep things realistic.  

Common sound choices:

    I've noticed they often lack music or ambient sound with intense scenes, and often times they'll only use it when there's a party or ratio, like a said, realism. They focus on dialogue and character interaction. Diegetic sounds also get emphasize as a sort of motif for the view to figure out things. It's not a song or rhyme that plays in the background, it's the tapping of shoes or wrinkle of clothing to indicate a person most often. 

Examples of drama films:

    The Corpse Bride, Matrix, every "Romeo and Juliet" ever, the batman (all of them), Alice in Wonderland, Call Me by Your Name, Oppenheimer 

Personal likes: 

    I enjoy how the drama genre can emphasize feelings and emotions and project them to the view, hits really hard and makes you feel the embarrassment or motivation. Some of the hybrids, like romance or action plus thriller though not always. I particularly like, Motif's. Especially when they help a view figure something out, it's always better to say, "hey I figured that out!" vs "I never saw that coming," always more satisfying. 

Personal dislikes: 

    Some of the hybrids, usually including crime and adventure can get... really bad at times, especially when trying to take itself seriously. I decently enjoy drama, its good.
