Genre Research

Our film is a Romantic Drama. This is a very unique style of film as the love side of the story particularly in our film is very hard hitting and dramatic. as this is very unique to our film i am going to look at drama's as a whole. Drama films are made to put viewers in the spot of the characters so that they feel the pain and suffering of the character like Claire at the end of our film, or the joy of someone as seen with the mexican man realising his daughter is alive as seen in the film i'm going to use as an example of a drama film. Crash is a film about several stories that interweave during two days in Los Angeles involving a collection of inter-related characters, a police detective with a drugged out mother and a thieving younger brother, two car thieves who are constantly theorizing on society and race, the white district attorney and his irritated and pampered wife, a racist white veteran cop (caring for a sick father at home) who disgusts his more idealistic younger partner, a successful Hollywood director and his wife who must deal with the racist cop, a Persian-immigrant father who buys a gun to protect his shop, a Hispanic locksmith and his young daughter who is afraid of bullets, and more. this story is a great drama as it is very hard hitting throughout and with the interweaving storyline keeps the audience interested. This is a very good example of a hard hitting drama that interweaves love, pain and happiness. The scene below is with the Hispanic locksmith and the Persian man from the store and shows the daughter of the locksmith being shot but the shocking twist at the end is just like our movies ending with the audience realising Ciaran is dead. As the film is copyrighted i can only link the scene with the web link below.
