I used Prezzi to make a presentation on some aspects of genre conventions.
What are conventions of drama ?
Drama conventions consist of :
- Cliff hangers
- Happy ending
- Conflict within characters
- Emotional concept
- Climax point
- Heroine
- Bad guy/Good guy
Films that breaks drama conventions
- The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and New Moon challenges drama convention by changing the stereotype of vampires; in the movie the vampire were set out to help the humans;the vampires teamed with the werewolves and this challenges the convention as both creatures are enemies. In addition the beginning of the movie breaks all drama convention as it focuses on a relationship between a vampire and a mortal.This challenges drama convention as it only portrays realistic characters.
- Titanic : The main character did not have a happy ending.
- Lovely Bones : The bad guy wasn't caught by the police.
