C.L.A.M.P.S.

The common used in drama fund tend to match the setting of the science and the era at that time to appeal to the audience. The lighting is practical setting lighting , high key , diffused overhead , kicker light with soft fill , and low key .The  type of acting used  are serious presentations or stories with settings or life situations that portray realistic characters in conflict with either themselves, others, or forces of nature. The makeup used in film unions classify movie makeup artists based on the area of the actor's body needing makeup. A makeup artist applies cosmetics from the top of a persons head to the top of their breastbone. Most drama films used everyday day things such as 

staffs, food, weapons, lanterns and candles, canes, staffs, parasols, and practically anything else an actor could or might pick up.

The setting of a story can change throughout the plot. The environment includes geographical location such as beach or mountains, the climate and weather, and the social or cultural aspects such as a school, theatre, meeting, club, etc. when editing a drama film the techniques used a cutaways, match cut, a regular cut , establishing shot , etc .

Drama elements :

• Focus. Focus is often used interchangeably with the terms concentration and engagement, assisting the performer in the portrayal of believable characters. ... 
• Tension. Tension can sometimes be used as an interchangeable term with conflict
• Timing
• Rhythm
• Contrast
• Mood
• Space
• Language

 In drama films the kind of suspense full build throughout a conflict between a character is not quite appealing to most ,but I do enjoy it. When it comes to drama I hate the long time to get to the whole more of the story or film you can say .
