1. Amy Cleary
My group have chosen “Drama”
as our genre.

2.  Magdalene Sisters.
 The storyline inspires me at it is a true story and
is very moving as I can relate to the characters
as they around the same age as me. It shows the
reality of what life was like around the 1960’s in
Ireland if you committed sins.
 The Impossible
 These characters are very inspirational as they
are a typical family and they get separated in a
natural disaster, it shows you the meaning of life
as they almost never see each other again.

3.  The Pursuit of Happyness
 The scene when the father and son are in the
toilet in the tube station as they get kicked
out their apartment because the father cant
afford the rent.
 My Sisters Keeper
 The storyline is moving because it happens in
real life all the time and it shows the familys
struggle having a child who has a terminal
illness.

5.  Showing the setting
 Introduce the characters
 Equilibrium
 Shows normality
 Resolution
 Disequilibrium
 Climax appears
 Disruption would appear
 Attempt to repair the damage
 New equilibrium

6.  The style would be a “enigma”.
 I have chose this type because it leaves the
audience wondering how she got there, why
she is there, why the doctors are shocked.

7.  My narrative structure is non linear because
it starts near the end. This is similar to
slumdog millionaire.
 It is a contemporary modular narrative as it
has a split screen of the lady in the hospital
bed and her husband or boyfriend at home.
Ihave applied it to Barthes theory of enigma,
as it leaves mystery from the audience.

8. Characters
Female 21 Known as a “good
girl” never causes
trouble.
Male 22 The typical
“macho” and
“strong” boyfriend,
wants to protect
his girlfriend.
Female 20 Friend of the other
female and a bit of
a trouble maker, is
partly responsible.
Setting.
The setting is set in a hospital to start as that is where the lady
wakes up. It then has a flashback to a party.

9. Conventions Reinforce/challenge/ Why?
develop
Conflict Reinforce There is always conflict in
dramas that is the main
purpose for dramas.
Problems Challenge There has to be problems
so there can be a
resolution.
Real life situations Reinforce It has to be as realistic as
possible so the audience
can relate to it.
Crime Challenge Crime is a convention
because drama films are
realistic and crime
happens.
Follows characters Reinforce So you can see how they
journey get on and what happens.

10. I would have cheery titles and credits
because it would contradict the storyline as
the storyline is sad and happy.
 All of the font and size would be the same
apart from the title, that would be bigger.
would be in Bradley Hand font and the size
 It
would be 44 and the title size would be
72.
