Melodrama- It appeals to the heightened emotions of the audience. The characters and plot tend to be a lot more unrealistic compared to a typical film of the drama genre.
Tragedy Drama- This is where a flaw within the character then causes the downfall of said character It generally focuses on self destructive behaviour of the character which then tend to result in death or the deterioration of the character.
Romance Drama- Explores the concept of love and focuses on the thing that is preventing two people being together. A romantic drama does not always have a happy ending due to a wide range of things, one being one of the characters family's disapproval.
Historical Drama- A historical drama will focus on a certain group of people within a certain time period.
