Research into the drama genre

It is important to research the genre and its conventions before developing a storyline as you must include various things to portray the genre to your audience. For example a drama must exhibit real life situations with realistic characters, settings and stories. A drama must include intense social interaction as well as moving the audience emotionally. Drama is based around conflict, it includes real life struggles that result in audience pleasure especially when they are able to relate to the character or situation. I believe a drunken daughter dealing with their mother after a night out is something most people have been through and so they will be able to relate, resulting in audience pleasure. As an audience they may relate to a certain character, forming a relationship making them want to watch more to see how it turns out. I look to imbed all the conventions of drama within my own mini brief.
