1. Conventions of the Drama Genre Realism Drama films deal with
human emotions, playing on serious and tense events to create
conflict. These events are realistic, as if they could happen to
any of the audience. Journeys Drama films often involve a journey
of some kind, be it literal or metaphorical. This can be a journey
of character development which are often designed to effect the
audience's emotions. Conflict is at the center of a drama, with a
structure of multiple climaxes and anti- climaxes before the big
one at the end which usually ends with a happy/resolved
ending.
