Genre Research - Subgenres of Drama

Dramedy - Equally dramatic and funny, presents serious issues in a more light hearted way. An example of this is Adult Life Skills. Click for trailer

 Historical - Explores a specific time period or event, but often are only loosely based on real history. They tend to focus on glorified societies or political figures. An example of this is Gladiator. Click for trailer 

Melodrama - The plot and characters are often unrealistic, and tell a story that centres on a great crisis  and brave hero. These films tend to be more aimed at female audiences. An example of this is The Wizard of OZ. Click here for trailer


Period - Period dramas are often based on a novel, and have sets and costumes specially made to fit the time frame the film is set. They also tend to have longer running times, and usually feature prominent romance. An example of this is Romeo and Juliet. click for trailer

Tragedy - A flaw within the main character causes their downfall. A tragedy is generally centred around the self-destructive behaviour of a character and ultimately results in the death or horrible fate of the character. An example of this is The Great Gatsby. Click for trailer
