These are some conventions of a film drama I have found:
- Shows character development
- Presents real life situations
- Uses realistic and relatable characters
- Includes intense social reaction
- Climaxes and anti-climaxes are used to create a range of emotional responses within the audience.
- Dramas commonly have big scenes due to conflict between characters.
Conventions of British film dramas:
- Alcohol - usually the cause of violence which can be physical or verbal. Alcoholic characters usually have ups and downs in theses types of films.
- Violence - this is commonly drug related although it can be related to psychological conditions or for some people a way out of poverty stricken decisions
- lighting - usually shows Britain to be dimly lit, gloomy, low key natural lighting. This somewhat takes away the little bit of happiness left in the poor areas.
- Sexism - women shown as dependent on men's actions and count on them to make a living or to have excitement in their life.
- British actors -
- Racism - usually shows lower to middle class men being made redundant and blaming immigrants for their loss of work which lead to racially charged riots and groups like EDL.
