the music and movement of the characters change dramatically based on the genre.

This drama is different from the drama portrayed in either movies or books because it is live and gives the audience a sense that they are a part of the production. The mood and setting is set differently to accommodate the audience and make them enjoy the show.

The three productions are variants from books and movies because their sets are smaller and when transitioning a story from a book to a play or movie, you may have to cut out some unnecessary things. As well, the three productions also contain more music and more emotion because of this.

Drama is different from book and plays in many ways.

The drama shown differs from movies and books because of seeing most of these events in real life in the same room as the audience, making the human interactions more realistic and can show a metaphor for human behavior.

The first observation I noticed is that in Drama, a lot of emotions and actions and storyline aren’t spoken but portrayed through body movements. Such as when they show a clip of Evan Hansen about to go up to someone and then very quickly turn around. That little action shows that Evan isn’t confident in himself or rather in the situation of going up to others.

Depending on the genre/overall theme of the musical, the setting & music changes. They use their surroundings to accommodate to the mood, further enhancing the feeling that is trying to be created. For example, in Hamilton, the music is very upbeat, allowing the audience to understand that this isn't a melancholy/sentimental play (unlike Dear Evan Hansen)

Drama differs from books and movies because drama is live. If anyone makes one mistake, the whole thing is done. People in drama productions have to keep practicing and doing live shows, but for movies, there just needs to be one good scene and it will be played forever.

The characters are developed so that they stand out and you realize that they are the main character.

Something unique to the theater and drama genre is that sense of communication during song. It’s much more powerful in song form when a character says something. In Dear Evan Hansen, having that romantic ballad “If I Could Tell Her” instead of just saying what he’s talking about is a lot more powerful. Almost like in The Odyssey, where the graphic novel format expands upon the scene.

The setting is important because it influences what kind of music is used. For example, Hamilton is about wars and revolutions so the music is mostly very upbeat. Whereas, Dear Evan Hansen and War Horse are more emotional so the music is more mellow and sad.

After watching The three videos taught me how there can be a huge story in just singing and dancing.

Write one of your observations.

For the War Horse trailer I noticed that instead of someone pushing around a fake horse as a prop, someone was inside moving all of the body parts.

After watching the three examples of contemporary theatre performances I observed that all of the productions consisted of slower and more story-filled music and songs. I think each group of characters sang their stories and not just random lyrics that did not actually mean anything. Most of the characters from these clips expressed themselves through slow songs, while telling how they feel.
