Drama films rely on developing realistic characters and dealing with intense real-life issues through dramatic themes. The genre is usually set in a specific context like a police crime drama or historical period. Costume design contributes to the artistic world of a drama by denoting characters' status or adding visual interest. Mise-en-scene in drama includes elements like set layout, costumes, and naturalistic lighting arranged to suit the scene and characters.

1. GENRE: DRAMA
-WHAT IS DRAMA ALL ABOUT?
Drama film is a genre that relies on the emotional and
relational development of realistic characters. While
Drama film relies heavily on this kind of development,
dramatic themes play a large role in the plot as well.
Often, these dramatic themes are taken from intense,
real life issues.
-WHAT IS THE SETTING OF DRAMA?
In film and television, drama is a genre of narrative
fiction (or semi-fiction) intended to be more serious than
humorous in tone. Dramaof this kind is usually qualified
with additional terms that specify its particular subgenre,
such as "police crime drama", "political drama", "legal
drama", "historical period drama", "domestic drama",
"teen drama", or "comedy-drama". These terms tend to
indicate a particular setting or subject-matter, or else
they qualify the otherwise serious tone of a drama with
elements that encourage a broader range of moods.
All forms of cinema or television that involve fictional
stories are forms of drama in the broader sense if their
storytelling is achieved by means of actors who represent

2. (mimesis)characters. In this broader sense, drama is a
mode distinct from novels, short stories, and narrative
poetry or songs. In the modern era before the birth of
cinema or television, "drama" within theatre was a type
of play that was neither a comedy nor a tragedy. It is this
narrower sense that the film and television industries,
along with film studies, adopted. "Radio drama" has been
used in both senses—originally transmitted in a live
performance, it has also been used to describe the more
high-brow and serious end of the dramatic output of
radio.
-WHAT TYPE OF CLOTHING IS USED IN A DRAMA?
Costume design is the envisioning of clothing and the
overall appearance of a character or performer. Costume
may refer to the style of dress particular to a nation, a
class, or a period. In many cases, it may contribute to the
fullness of the artistic, visual world that is unique to a
particular theatrical or cinematic production. The most
basic designs are produced to denote status, provide
protection or modesty, or provide visual interest to a
character. Costumes may be for, but not limited to,
theater, cinema, or musical performances. Costume
design should not be confused with costume

3. coordination, which merely involves altering existing
clothing, although both processes are used to create
stage clothes.
-WHAT IS THE MISE EN SCENE IN DRAMA?
A dramatic convention is a set of rules which both the
audience and actors are familiar with and which act as a
useful way of quickly signifying the nature of the action
or of a character.
TV Drama - Mise en-scene. ... The arrangement of
everything that appears in the framing – actors, lighting,
décor, props, costume – is called mise-en-scène, a French
term that means “placing on stage.” The frame and
camerawork also constitute the mise-en-scène of a
movie.
 AREAS TO CONSIDER:
The set layout and design- this is how the set would be
put together according to the mood, atmosphere,
location, scene.
Costume- this is what the actors would wear according
to the scene, environment, status and their characters
in the films.

4. The lighting used in shooting of a drama/fictional movie
is usually ambient and realistic. The mise en scene is
natural lighting, mostly according to the scenario.
