DINARAMA

Synopsis
DINARAMA is a story of an aspiring writer who struggles to publish their work. Fighting through thick and thin, trying to win the approval of a strict boss. After countless rejections, night began to appear and the main character can’t help but cry and feel dejected.
Genre
The story’s genre goes by Slice of Life as it follows the writer’s real-life struggle. A story that is not too far from reality is something many viewers can relate to. Slice if Life is a genre that is viewed as ‘normal’ by some, because it shows a regular everyday life a character. Many would prefer heart-pumping genres like action or romance. But we wanted to give a sense of relatability to the character or the plot of the story. Not only to show their struggle but also how they handle those situations.
Not only shows different realistic situations but different personality and traits of characters because many people handle situations differently than others. As relatability, it’s not only about the everyday life of countless possibilities but also the open opportunity to highlight the small things in life. While the genre may not be for everyone, it is evidently for a lot of people.
In film and television, drama is a genre of narrative
fiction (or semi-fiction) intended to be more serious than humorous in tone.
Drama of 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.
Drama is created when a heightened sense of reality is
portrayed through relatable human experience. It’s the performance of our
relationship with the world and others. Human history is drama. In Aristotelian
thought, drama would be more akin to tragedy, dealing with serious, important,
and virtuous people, in contrast to comedy which deals with human weaknesses
and foibles.
What are some of the most essential traits of great drama
screenplays?
It all begins with conflict. A hunter tracks down a wounded
deer and discovers a drug deal gone wrong. He is met with a choice. He decides
to take the money, kicking off a chain reaction of events that leaves a whole
lotta death and destruction in its wake.
Conflict forces the protagonist out of their comfort zone.
Everything is hinged on the decisions that the character makes throughout their
journey. It’s how the character responds and reacts to conflict that drives the
plot forward and ultimately defines them. Usually, it’s the characters’ bad
decisions that get them in trouble in the first place.
The most memorable characters connect with audiences on a
deeper level because of their vulnerability. Audiences need to care for the
characters. One character rises while the other falls, serving as a cautionary
tale for our protagonist Ally on the price of fame as she reaches her pinnacle
moment. The emotional turmoil of losing her husband leads to her emancipation.
It’s in the stories we tell our co-workers during break or
family members at dinner. It is a fixture of our daily lives. Some people
thrive on it. Others don’t want no drama. Regardless, there is no escaping it,
so writers channel it into their work whether they realize it or not.
The writer who is able to translate the complexities of being human with empathy and compassion through their own unique point of view is well on their way to writing the next great drama screenplay.
