Shared Conventions of TV Drama

Shared Conventions of TV Drama

Characters who offer shorthand representations of real types of people or stereotypes.

Narrative which is visually presented and demands high levels of audience understanding (of what is assumed to happen in between edits – the different between plot and story)

Mise En Scene, all the elements which add up to an instantly recognisable atmosphere, which is “authentic” for the events, themes and people for the events, themes and people that are being represented in the Drama.

Camerawork and Editing that ensures continuity and creates drama through visual conventions.

Dialogue Sound and Music which create a balance between verisimilitude (the logic of the text’s world which appears real) and drama (dialogue which might be less polished” in the real world, music which tells the audience the motion they should feel)
