Drama Films

Popular films of the Drama genre are:


The Imitation Game



Synopsis: In 1939, newly created British intelligence agency MI6 recruits Cambridge mathematics alumnus Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to crack Nazi codes, including Enigma -- which cryptanalysts had thought unbreakable. Turing's team, including Joan Clarke (Keira Knightley), analyze Enigma messages while he builds a machine to decipher them. Turing and team finally succeed and become heroes, but in 1952, the quiet genius encounters disgrace when authorities reveal he is gay and send him to prison.



The Breakfast Club




Synopsis: Five high school students from different walks of life endure a Saturday detention under a power-hungry principal (Paul Gleason). The disparate group includes rebel John (Judd Nelson), princess Claire (Molly Ringwald), outcast Allison (Ally Sheedy), brainy Brian (Anthony Michael Hall) and Andrew (Emilio Estevez), the jock. Each has a chance to tell his or her story, making the others see them a little differently -- and when the day ends, they question whether school will ever be the same.

Never Let Me Go



Synopsis: Friends Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Tommy (Andrew Garfield) and Ruth (Keira Knightley) grow up together at a seemingly idyllic boarding school in the English countryside. When they leave the school and the horrible truth of their true purpose is revealed to them, they must simultaneously confront deep-seated feelings of love, jealousy and betrayal that threaten to tear their friendship asunder.

Cyberbully



Synopsis: A woman (Kelly Rowan) tries to help her teenage daughter (Emily Osment) when she becomes the victim of online bullying.

A common feature in all these films is the complex plots dealing with realistic characters and their emotions. The films explore the characters journey's and development within realistic situations whilst still being entertaining.

By researching other films from the same Genre as mine (Drama) I think I will be able to use a variety of techniques to be able to convey the themes of my film. I have taken inspiration from the complex characters and how they are presented in an exciting and interesting way.
