Plans and Genre Choice

 

Genre

    After doing some quick research I have decided to go down the genre of drama, more specifically, sports drama. This genre I feel would help illustrate my story the best and make it enjoyable for the viewer. Some inspirational storytelling would show an element seen in drama and it will show the purpose of my story.


                                                                 Creed 2 (Nov 21, 2018)

 

Characteristics

    There are significant differences between sports drama and normal drama films. The theme of sport drama films unlike normal drama films is that sport drama films tend to have underdog stories. While sports drama can focus on underdog stories normal drama films focus more on love stories. I saw this distinction because this is what my intended story will illustrate. I want to show the hardship the protagonist has had to endure and the immense amount of time, sweat, and tears he has put in to get to where he is. Sport drama films also focus on the emotional depth of a character. When doing some research on this showing some sort of family photo in the film opening can help illustrate this better

    Sport drama films focus on the conflict and motivation on why these characters push to be where they are whether that be from family conflict, avenging someone or proving someone wrong. The mise-en scene element aims to show the hard training and other intense dramatic scenes with warm, natural lighting. It is also seen that these films showcase some spotlight effects during competitions.

Rocky (1976)



Rocky 

This film is a classic movie that I have personally enjoyed. This movie shows the struggle Rocky Balboa has had to endure to defeat the heavyweight champion. Throughout the movie it is seen that everyone looks at him like he is a bum, not capable enough to be a professional boxer. This is what drives him to train as seen in the training sequences and shows the motivation he has to show his worth to the people. It leaves people feeling inspired to go out and tackle all their problems one step at a time.
