Conventions of drama film openings



The genre convections for drama films are the following:

- A storyline that presents a real life situation with realistic settings, stories and characters.
- A film that portrays a journey that a character has been on in their past or in the present day.
- A storyline that is dramatic and emotionally moves the audience when watching the film. Also, something with intense social interaction.

 The genre convections for the opening scene of drama films are soft, calm music, simple credits in serious fonts, voice over of a character speaking either about their life or about something to do with them such as an interest, the title for the film shows up on the screen near the middle of the opening scene and the opening scenes are not packed with different clips, they are calm openings with little different clips. I found this out by watching films that relate to my groups film. In the film opening for The Wish List I have used simple titles, the film title comes up in the middle of the opening and me and my group have placed a voice over in the opening scene. By doing theses things we are making it clear to the audience that the film is under the genre of drama.
