Introduction
The task that I have been
set is to create an opening sequence for a film. I have chosen the genre of social drama. I have decided to pick Social
drama as I feel every audience can relate as we all face the everyday problems
in our society. This genre also opens up and introduces new cultures and groups
of people to different audiences and normally makes you question our morals we
live by, being right or wrong they are all relevant to us as humans. Some main
issues social drama tries to put across are problems such as Poverty, bullying,
death and the short term, long term affects of war.
What is Social drama
Social
drama refers to a piece of film that describes the conflicts and social
interaction created by people. It influences the audience to change their ways,
perception and views. Social drama is portrayed through a way of realism to make the matter
seem much more believable and making the subject serious and relatable to the
audience. I feel this type of genre can cover all subject matters and can more
or less appeal to all audiences depending on what film is covering as some
themes of this genre can cover sex, violence, drug use and so on therefore
themes such as that I feel there would be an age range of 16+ or anyone with a
mature outlook on themes such as these. social drama tends to be open to both
genders and concentrate more on themes than sub genres. Social drama films
prefer to concentrate on just one character to not make it to confusing, as if
there was no specific person the film was concentrating on it would seem to be
more of a documentary.
