DRAMA
The genre Drama can be seen as one of the most powerful conventions a movie can enlist in order to send us into a film. From Casablanca to Pulp Fiction, dramas have dominated the film industry, creating countless classics that envelop us into characters that will surely live with us for the rest of our lives. Socrates once boldly stated "the unexamined life is not worth living" and dramas give us the opportunity to examine the life's and actions of others and apply it to ourselves, changing our thoughts and behaviors while often teaching us vital lessons. The ability to push emotions onto the audience is a key point of a genre movie and is what separates the genre for me as one of the best.
In preparation for my film opening, I will begin to examine other genres to grasp a wider understanding of creating my ideal film. A key aspect of the drama genre is the ability to mimic real-life situations and often spread wisdom in which the film deals with certain scenarios. I view this ideology as very enticing as it allows the film to spread a message about a certain subject, that can be applied in everyday life. I would want any media created by me, to portray a message that would leave the viewers thinking about a range of issues that need more attention and the drama gives me that ability. This has caused me to shift more towards creating a film opening in the drama genre.
Emotions are what in my opinion, help create a film that truly impacts the viewers. A mediocre film will brace the viewer, but a grand film will shake the viewer. Impacting the audience in my opening is going to be a primary goal for me, as those are the films I feel have made a difference in my life. The conventions in the drama genre included all the necessities that I will enlist in my film opening. Overall, my shift from horror to drama will help me create a film opening that I would be proud to stand behind.
