Reaserch into the genre sports drama resit

Sports drama is hybrid genre as there are two genres combined together into one film. we decided to use this genre as we feel that they work very effectively with each other and many great films have been made with this hybrid genre.

The typical conventions that are involved in a drama film are as follows:

• There are real life situations with realistic and relatable characters, settings and stories.
• Portrays a journey of a characters development
• Intense social interactions
• Dramatic storyline to move the audience emotionally
• The heart of the drama is the conflict between the characters
• Conflict can include inner/outer realistic struggles, hardship and pain.
• There is a form of realization at the end happy/good ending possibly where the main character achieves there goal that they have been working the whole film on.

Spots is a sub genre in films commonly accompanied by drama or comedy in this case in will be drama so therefore these are typical conventions of a sports film.

• They have a sports setting such as a gym. 
• They can be fictional or non fictional
• Always contain an athlete
• They contain a specific sporting event that the athlete participates in and is the focus of the film.
• Constant state of emotion
• There is a disruption or failure in the film that the main character overcomes
• There is normally relationship between characters.

Some examples of these films include

• Invictus
• The rocky series
• Warrior
• Fast girls
• Creed
