Defining My Genre: Romantic Drama

When researching the genre I was going to focus my trailer, I found out that Romantic Films were defined as a genre wherein the plot revolves around the love between two protagonists. This genre usually has a theme that explores an issue within love, including but not limited to: love at first sight, forbidden love, love triangles, and sacrificial love. The tone of Romance film can vary greatly. Whether the end is happy or tragic, Romance film aims to evoke strong emotions in the audience.

I then found out that Drama Film's are a genre that rely on the emotional and relational development of realistic characters. While Drama films rely heavily on this kind of development, dramatic themes play a large role in the plot aswell. Often, these dramatic themes are taken from intense, real life issues. Whether heroes or heroines are facing conflict from the outside or a conflict within themselves, Drama film aims to tell an honest story of human struggles.
