A TV Drama is High Profile, it is trailed on TV and the radio and newspaper articles (especially on soap storylines). TV Dramas are also High budget (special effects ,costume and sets, stars, lengthy production time, often put on DVD to buy and have large production teams).
TV dramas can be categorised by:
-Form
-Style
-Sub genre
-Audience
I also learnt what different 'forms' of TV dramas there are:
-Mini series: 3 or four episodes
-Series: Self contained episodes, often in blocks of 6 or 13 episodes
-Serial: dramas with ongoing, continuous storylines over several episodes
-Docudrama-actors performing dramatic reconstruction of real life events
The different types of TV dramas include:
-Police/crime drama: The Bill
-Hospital drama: Casualty
-School-based: Waterloo Road
-Historical or costume: Oliver Twist
-Soap operas: Eastenders
The audience of TV dramas depends on the schedule.
I also learnt about editing. There are different ways in which you can edit a TV drama to create an effect. These include, cross cutting, cut away, jump cut, matchcut, montage, split screen. There are also 'flashes', these include wipe (gradually spatial transition from one image to another) and stop motion (stop-action or frame by frame).
