A majority of dramas are known for their use of verisimilitude to ground their narrative and make it more relatable for the audience, thus making it easier to empathise for the characters. Because of this signifier of realism, we are able to convey the genre authentically with naturalistic and every day settings, such as a park. In terms of financial and critical acclaim, it is also one of the most successful genres, with examples being found with the last 10 Oscar winners all going to dramas. Similarly, a lot of the highest grossing films, such as 'Titanic' and 'Inception,' use the drama genre to create a broad target audience and therefore maximise their success. To conclude, the drama genre fits our needed criteria of simplistic, natural settings and costumes, due to our lack of funding, as well as the signifiers being very iconic and well recognised throughout the media.
