Genre Research: Drama

 Common CAMS include zoom, pan and tilt, close up's, and cross shots. 

Common sounds are the music for intense scenes, as well as yelling, and voice overs.

Common CLAMPS:

Costumes can be anything in the setting is placed in. There could be a drama in outer space, in the 1600's or even under water. 

Lighting is usually bright. 

The acting can be fighting, or manipulation, usually one or the other. 

The props can be anything the setting calls for.

The setting can be anywhere. If there are people, people can and will always cause drama. 

Common edits may include flashbacks, cross cutting, and shot reverse shot.

A few films are 'Five Feet Apart' about two people who fall in love but can't be any close than five feet away due to a health condition than can lead to the death of one of them. "Little Women' is another example, it takes place after the civil war and is about women fighting for their rights. 

Elements I like are how wide range drama's are. A drama can come out of any circumstance at any point in time.  

An element I don't like is usually the plot of most dramas. Unless it's a sub genre for a movie, the plot usually turns out to be a sappy love story and chic-flics are so unrealistic it hurts my soul.
