Genre Research:Historical Drama

Common camera angles, movement, shots: Historical dramas uses Close ups, long shots, and high angle shots. Over-the-shoulder shots, Medium Shots, and Extreme close ups are also used in historical dramas. 


Common costumes, lighting, acting, makeup, props, and sets: The set(s) are determined by the time period the movie is set in. Makeup and costumes help the viewers understand a character. The makeup and costumes can conceal secrets or disclose truths, depending on the part. As designers, it is our responsibility to visually portray the story, and costumes provide us with the deciding variables and character outcomes.


Common editing: Cut away to emphasize to their audience that what they are going through right now is more significant to them than what came before it and maybe what comes after.


Common Sounds used: Similar to action movie genres, historical dramas also uses action match to highlight motion and activity in a scene and heighten the effect of a specific movement.


Examples of the genre: The Women King, Hidden Figures, and The Mummy

Our pitch

 Pitch A: Relationship full of secrets when the wife gets a strange secret.  Pitch B:2 archeologists go to an ancient site for observation, however things take a turn.  Discuss pitch A: We found this interesting as it instantly hit with an idea. The idea with that was a serial killer hiding in plain sight and his wife who's a nurse with a new influx of patients sharing strange symptoms. However this plot held limited creative freedom. Additionally it didn't fit with all of our groups ideas, not everyone could get what they wanted in a way that fit for everyone.
