8. Research of Genre: Drama comedy





Comedy Drama also known as dramedy is a genre of theatre, film, and television that combines elements of comedy and drama, having both humorous and sometimes serious content. Comedy dramas is famous for introducing serious topics such as family dramas, drugs, teenage pregnancies, wars, ets. However these topics are usually talked about in a funny howevr serious content.

Here are 3 example of differant types of drama comedy films Little Miss Sunshine wich is a film about a family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant take a cross-country trip in their VW bus. Forrest Gump is about a young man who is not very intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny, eludes him. The lastly The desendant, a fairly recent film about a land baron tries to re-connect with his two daughters after his wife is seriously injured in a boating accident.

Most comedy dramas are serious but in a funny way and the first minutes of the film so the part we are concentration the most on are all very differant because of the wide range of topics a comedy drama can be about however most start with a voice over introducing the charater, modern music in the backround to set the scene, a main character introducing himself to the aundience and a silly embarrasing moment (wich the audience can relate to.)
