After much thinking, I have decided that I will create a film opening for a dramatic film. It just now hit that I really have to make something good. yay.
Anyways, drama films tend to follow the emotional development of a character that is usually related to some type of conflict. Dramas show humans from their highpoints to their low points. It can be argued that dramas have the most subgenres: crime films, courtroom dramas, melodramas, epics (historical dramas), biopics (biographical), or romantic genres.
The target audiences for Drama usually appeal to males and females in both young and older audiences. I believe that my opening will be one of a "teen drama", so my target audience will most likely consist of 12-18 years old females. Some of the best-known drama film producers are: Steven Spielberg for Schindler's List, James Cameron for Avatar, Christopher Nolan for Dunkirk, Peter Jackson for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and Martin Scorsese Taxi Driver.
The Antagonist usually creates or is related to the conflict the main character (protagonist) is going through, thus the antagonist becomes the "villain". The antagonist tends to be cold and selfish, which makes the audience jeer for this character.
The protagonist usually has a best mate/friend that aids them. This "sidekick" has been known to ultimately betray the protagonist, however, usually, they aid the protagonist in whatever way they can. It should be noted that the protagonist and the friend are usually the same-sex, and if they are not they may end up "falling in love" at the end of the movie.
