Drama genre :)

Hello everybody! In today's blog, I will be going more into depth about a genre I had in mind for my portfolio project.

This genre is Drama

I personally enjoy watching "drama" movies and TV shows because I believe drama will always be entertaining.

Drama is about telling real emotional stories, focusing on characters and their real-life problems, struggles, and relationships. Although I don't know exactly what I want my film opening to be about, I know I want it to be a drama of some sort. Here are some films that I have been looking into that I really like and may want to take inspiration from and focus my film around.

The first film is called "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." 

This is a coming-of-age movie that was created in 2012, about a shy, introverted boy who is a high school freshmen. The movie focuses on his struggles and mental health issues while figuring out his purpose in the world. I personally wanted to research more into this film because it touches on deep topics and shows the emotional struggles of teenagers. This film does a great job in handling and discussing difficult topics and makes me want to be able to share my experiences cinematically. I think I could create my film opening to be similar in the aspect of showing teenage life and struggles.





The second film is called "The Edge of Seventeen" made in 2016. This discusses similar topics. Following 17-year-old girl, who deals with feelings of loneliness, insecurity, and fustration. She finds herself in arguments with her family, specifically her mother. This movie captures the misunderstandings of being a teenage girl navigating through ;ife and complicated family relationships. I think this movie does a great job in showcasing the confusing emotions of an awkward teenage girl trying to find herself. This movie inspires me to also revolve my film opening to be invloved in these kind of movie topics.


Overall, while researching this genre and these incredible movies, I am starting to aim my film opening to be a drama about a teen who struggles with their own emotions and goes through hardships, such as the characters in these movies. 

Thanking you guys so much for tuning in to today's blog.
