This week's topic is drama. For this week's posting, choose a scene that you find dramatic from one of the films you have watched this semester and tell how the film-maker uses the elements of the movie to create the drama.
While we don't usually think of comedies involving much drama, smart directors, beginning with Shakespeare at least, know that mixing dramatic elements into a comedy makes the funny parts even funnier. (The converse is true with comedy in drama: the gravedigger scene in Shakespeare's Hamlet is one of the most famous examples of "comic relief" in a dramatic tragedy.)
Â
Start by defining drama using our course text and other sources (I think the chapter on Drama is the weakest in the textbook). Then tell a little bit about the scene you choose, including where it occurs in the movie. Then tell which elements create the drama.
