What is a TV Drama?

Throughout today's lesson we went over the exam scheme and recalled what will occur throughout the exam, for example, we understood the questions and analysed how long we are expected too spend on each question. From this we moved over too looking at TV drama and what aspects of this genre affect what it is.

What is TV Drama?

TV Drama can be divided into various different categories / genre and all portray different too make them the type they are. Television Drama is primarily dialogue led and usually tells a story over a period of time. TV Dramas vary between a series and one a one off programme. There is a variety of different budgets that are put in towards different programmes. Too compare two different types of TV Dramas could be the difference between The Game Of Thrones and Casualty. Game of Thrones has been rated the number one TV Drama, due too the budget and worth that it involves, in comparison, Casualty n=did not have a lot of money put in towards the series, therefore there are minimal locations within the TV programmes.

What TV Drama's do you watch and why?


One of the main types of genres that I occasionally watch is reality series. I feel that I turn toward watching this the most as they are individually relatable with current events. Also, reality stars are linked within the media which I am daily involved with, for example, with me being situated within Essex, The Only Way is Essex is popular within our area and these figures are frequently involved within the news or TV shows. However, the main TV Drama that I watch are Teen Dramas and these consist of Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl, 90210 and Once Upon A Time, all of which I have watched on Netflix. All of  these are my favourite too watch because there are series of these which allow me too watch one episode after another, which involve a different topic each time.
