Drama Extracts



 
 
 
File:Downton Abbey.jpgThis is an extract of a series called Father Brown. It began airing on BBC Three on the fourteenth of January 2013. It is a period drama, which means that costumes, sets and properties are featured in order to capture the ambience of a particular era. Downton Abbey is also a period drama. Downton Abbey is set in the fictional Yorkshire country estate of Downton Abbey and depicts the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in the post-Edwardian era (1901-1910).
 
The drama genre is often combined with other genres. For instance The Vampire Diaries, a series developed by by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec, is a supernatural drama. This genre deals with ghosts and other supernatural topics, but without the tone and scares associated with the horror genre. Supernatural dramas may use creatures of folklore that are displayed as neutral or evil rather than creatures of fantasy which are perceived as good natured (such as fairies, leprechauns, or elves). The beings usually seen in supernatural dramas, or rather just the genre of supernatural itself, are apparitions, spirits, witches, warlocks, superhumans, demons, gods, angels and, miracles.
