drama

A Drama is a film genre that depends mostly on in-depth developing of realistic genres and usually rather serious film which have a strong emotion.

They usually contain over the top acting (dramatic), so it can draw the audience attention.

They based on social problem, alcoholism, drug addition, obsessions etc

Convention of Drama

Inspired Drama Films

Amid a strict Muslim rearing and a social life he's never had, Tariq (Evan Ross) enters college confused. New peers, family and mentors help him find his place, but the 9-11 attacks force him to face his past and make the biggest decisions of his life.

The title of the movie is written in Arabic. Which portray that the movie is about religion

Presentreality

Flashback Dramatic sound costume

Mother and son relationship. In reality the colour is more clear, so that the viewers can tell which one is the past/present.

Father wanting his son to be just like him. In the flashbacks the colour is dull , which it easier for the audience to know.

Dark and they frightens in the girls eyes, makes the audience feel sorry for her

In the beginning they use a slow Islamic music. The music was so calm that it touched my heart.

Christianity they are allowed to wear type of clothes that suits their personality. This. This is shown in the movie.

In nearly at the end they used a drum beat, which build our tension.

Moving to a new school and environment

Tariq as a child struggling with his identity

for women-wrapped up in clothing where only the hands, feet

Men- A loose, long- sleeved, ankle-length dress and hat

For Colored Girls

Each of the women portray one of the characters represented in the collection of twenty poems, revealing different issues that impact women in general and women of colour in particular.

The cover page is really affective and works with the title as its illustrates struggle and pain which is showed in the Film.

What will happen in the whole film

Flashback of her getting bullied as a kid At 10 years old she started starving her self because she believe the

thinner you are, the more beautiful you will look She’s always in her room, looking at celebrities and model. Her

favourite model is Noemi Campbell Mum and her boyfriend always spend time together, forgetting about

her She got taken to rehab because the school was worried about her.

Opening sequence

Balcony- she killed herself Flashback- childhood ( kids calling her names) Bedroom( slow music)- she locks herself in her room looking at

magazines, diary Kitchen( voice over)- she feel sick when, she see food Reality- mum and stepdad arguing, whilst she’s in the kitchen Reality-her laying dead on the floor

Storyboard

What I have learnt

I’m working on Tzvetan Todorov because it begins with a state of equilibrium (everything is as it should be)

It then suffer some disruption ( disequilibrium) New equilibrium is produce at the end of the narrative

At the end of the sequence she committed suicide and her mum see’s her diary.

Target audience

Who is your target audience? Age- 13+ Gender- both Hobbies interest- physiological/physical meaning Lifestyle- Location- Willesden Social class-both

Interesting for target audience

Flash- To show the past Music/sound- Create tension Close up/extreme close up- Fear emotion in the character eye- Because I’m doing drama they will

be a lot of close up/ extreme close because it shows the character emotion.

Slow motion is also a good idea because it

High angle and low angle- High angle to show her as being

vulnerable and small- Low angle showing the bullies

scary
