Good news and bad news..

Ok. So there is good news and bad news. The good news is that I decided to make the film about the children who were sent to go to war at the age of 11. The bad news is I have no idea how I’m supposed to make this a drama. What I mean by that is, I don’t know if the dystopian world is too unrelatable and unrealistic to be called a drama. This idea may fall under the action/science fiction range which would mean that all of the research I did last week would be for nothing. So now, I have to come up with a solution for my predicament.

Either I change the genre of my film, which is very inconvenient considering all of the research I put into researching dramas, or I focus more on the character development rather than the actual war going on. The main focus in a drama is to write a strong script and have relatable characters present throughout the film. Therefore, I believe if I make these characters relatable enough, then I may be able to justify the action portions in my film, along with the dystopian society.
