“Where did drama originate from”
Why am i’m interested in this question: I’m interested in this question because i want to know the very essence of drama and it’s transforming history over the centuries.
What did I learn about this Topic: The Western dramatic tradition has its origins in ancient Greece. The precise evolution of its main divisions—tragedy, comedy, and satire—is not definitely known. According to Aristotle, Greek drama, or, more explicitly, Greek tragedy, originated in the dithyramb.Ancient musical instruments were found by archeologists can suggest how they were used, by one person or by group. The quality of music can be played with these instruments indicate how ancient people had sophisticated cultures. Imagine the ancient art in Africa, America, Asia, and Europe by watching the art of Australian aboriginal people. Of course, aboriginal art has evolved; however, it must still have the influence of the very ancient style. Then drama must began very early - even before 100,000 years ago.

How does Marvel adapt their cinematic screenplay?
I am interested in this because I love Marvel movies and I have always wanted to know how they make their movies.
We see that Marvel usually takes a series of comics and creates a comprehensive script using it. They do not always follow the comics exactly. We see this in Captain America : Civil War when they do not directly follow the series of com ics it is based on. Also, they will edit the end so that theyt can satisfy all audiences.

Introduction to Drama
How was drama established and how has it grown over the years?
I want to know this answer to this topic because I have heard so much about drama, but never really knew the history of it.
Drama began in ancient Greece, and greek tragedy. The plays were first religious affairs with dancing and music, then a chorus came. 600-200 Bc ancient athenians created a theatre culture that lasted over 2500 years. Their plays are still considered the world’s most greatest plays. Over the years the greatest playwright has been Shakespeare, but the athenians has created 5 equally great playwrights. The theatre of ancient greece evolved from religious rites.

2. Does drama use any literary elements/techniques?
I want to know this because we’ve been on poetry for so long and poetry uses literary techniques and I want to know if all literature ues literary techniques.
In drama this are called dramatic devices. Also, drama does use literary devices such as allusion, dramatic irony,imagery, foreshadowing,etc. Poetic terms used in drama are sonnet and rhyming couplet. Dramatic device is used in drama for the substitution of reality such as, acts, scenes, aside, and soliloquy. Drama also use figurative language.

“Why is drama a social and historical object”
ReplyDeleteWhy am i’m interested in this question: I want to know why so many scholars and even some teachers or mentors try and achieve social and historical objective in drama.
What did i learn about this Topic: Where, when and how a drama is performed, promoted and received by different audiences can influence the way it is viewed and evaluated. While dramatic performances can introduce or highlight ideas, values or codes of social conduct that are particular to cultures and histories, they may or may not contain actions that can be recognised in other cultures or in other dramatic texts. Analysis of the responses audiences in contemporary cultures have to drama is often associated with the field of study called reception theory. Analysis of the responses audiences in historical cultures had to drama can often be found in studies of theatre history. Analyses of the responses non-western audiences have had to western forms of drama may also be discussed in the field of postcolonial theory.

I’ve learned that drama is the type of literature to be performed. People writing about drama has often explored how drama relates to society. Even though critics disagree about drama’s revolutionary potential, most would agree that a central purpose of drama has always been to provide a means for a society to reflect upon itself and its beliefs.

Introduction To Drama - Research
1.1. What is the purpose of a monologue? Soliloquy?
1.2. I wish to know why playwrights write monologues and soliloquies.
1.3.1. Monologue comes from Greek word monos means alone and logos means speech. It is a literary device, which is the speech or verbal presentation that a single character presents in order to express his/her collection of thoughts and ideas aloud. Often this character addresses directly to audience or another character. The purpose of writing in monologues is to convey an idea or viewpoint through words. However, sometimes, we notice a tricky part of writer’s expression as the opinion of speaker and writer do not match because he tries to convince the audience, and may not tell the exact reality. It allows the readers to move from one character to another and have an insight into their imaginations. A monologue serves as a basic source through which writers express their emotions and thoughts.
1.3.2. A soliloquy is a popular literary device often used in drama to reveal the innermost thoughts of a character. It is a great technique used to convey the progress of action of the play by means of expressing a character’s thoughts about a certain character or past, present or upcoming event while talking to himself without acknowledging the presence of any other person. The word soliloquy is derived from Latin word “solo” which means “to himself” and “loquor” means “I speak” respectively. A soliloquy is often used as a means of character revelation or character manifestation to the reader or the audience of the play. Due to a lack of time and space, it was sometimes considered essential to present information about the plot and to expose the feelings and intentions of the characters. Dramatists made extensive use of soliloquies in their plays but it has become outdated, though some playwrights still use it in their plays. Soliloquy examples abound during the Elizabethan era. A soliloquy in a play is a great dramatic technique or tool that intends to reveal the inner working of the character. No other technique can perform the function of supplying essential progress of the action of the story better than a soliloquy. It is used not only to convey the development of the play to the audience but also provide an opportunity to see inside the mind of a certain character.

1.4.2. Soliloquy: https://literarydevices.net/soliloquy/
2.1. What is the purpose of the metaphorical “fourth wall”? Why is it “broken”?
2.2. I wish to know what purpose the fourth wall serves if it is so commonly broken.
2.3.1. The fourth wall is a conceptual barrier between those presenting some kind of a communication and those receiving it. The term originated in the theater, where it refers to the imaginary wall at the front of the stage separating the audience from the performers. The fourth wall, along with the sides and back of the standard stage, encloses the created world of the play. Breaking the fourth wall means doing or saying something that either explicitly or implicitly acknowledges the artificiality of the environment and the fact that both the presenters and audience are aware of that artificiality.
2.3.2. Breaking the fourth wall often adds a comedic element to the play, as in Deadpool and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
2.4.1. Fourth Wall definition/purpose: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/fourth-wall

Topic: The origin of comedy and its evolution
I’m interested in learning about this topic because comedy is my favorite genre and i want to know how this came into effect.
The origin of comedy came from the “dialogue of the fertility rites of the feast of the greek god Dionysus” Some of comedy came from the plays of Aristophanes.
17 century : English aka sentimental comedy which creates sadness then creates comic relief.
18 century: Satirical origin from sheridan plays.
19 century: after almost falling, It was brought back to people’s attention by the comedic actions of Oscar Wilde.

1.When and how did drama begin?
-I am interested in this topic because of how great drams has become over the generations.
-It started in Ancient Greece. At the start of the making of plays, They were based off of religious affairs. They included music and dance. A playwright by the name of Aeschylus, had invented what we called drama, and had two actors and a chorus. Records begin in 501 BC.

2. What type of influences does drama have?
Drama can either be a good influence, or a bad one, depending on how the person views it. ANd I’m interested on how people see it.
It’s mostly about the shape of the stage. The difference in the stage can determine the physical relationship between the audience and actors. It determines the kind of communication.

What are the thing that make drama, what is drama
1)
-I really wanted to know about the topic because i'm really unsure how it can be different types of drama. I often see plays and movies and skits but not really sure how to identify how plays and movies are different
- I found out that theatre has 4 basic elements. The Product, The Audience,The Script, The Process.What really makes the difference between plays and movies and skits is that movies setting and audience is different and movies are mainly made after plays.

2).
What is the origins of Drama/theatre and why was it made
-i really wanted to understand the reason of why drama is the way it is. And also wanted to see was it different, was there any types of changes made from the start and if so what were they
-i found out that drama goes all the way bay to the Greek and Roman times with the gods but it was used to please the gods and in the honor for some of the gods. Back then it was used more for amusement and later on around in the late 16th century and early 17th century William Shakespeare really picked it up and started using theatre and plays strongly and made it popular still to this day

1)What is the importance of drama in society?
I am interested in this topic because i want to know why people find drama so important. We base our lives around drama with movies, television shows, and even in everyday life. Drama has such a major impact on society and I’ve always been curious about why.
Drama is important to society because it helps people express themselves through different characters, without having to change themselves as a person. Since drama is associated with books, movies and other things, people feel that we are able to express ourselves better with fictional characters from our imagination. We can do things in drama that we can’t do in real life. Drama is a way of being free.
http://www.settlers.org.za/news/blog/the-importance-of-drama.html
2) How is modern drama different from classical drama?
I am curious about this because our drama today seems to be who can get into the most fights, or who has the most stressful problems. Classical dramas use to bring up problems and how we can resolve them. They actually had a purpose and a meaning. We have to remake classical dramas these days because we can’t seem to be creative enough to come up with some on our own. Drama these days just doesn’t make sense.
Modern drama is different than classical drama in many ways. Classical drama prosed a question and ended with philosophical thoughts and solutions while also getting a deep meanoing across. Modern drama is more about reviews and who can get the most followers. The meaning is often lost in the story and it’s mostly used to keep up with popular trends in society.

1. What is the importance of drama.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting because I would love to know if this is useful for anything long term.
There is a Chinese proverb that says: “Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I will remember. Involve me and I will understand.
Dramas affect the problem solving abilities of the audience and actors. With the conflicts that arise in a drama the solutions that go with them can be out the box theories or expected outcomes. Also drama reflects the real world giving room for “experimentation” to find the results to certain choices, you’ll learn what to do and what you might not want to do.
http://www.settlers.org.za/news/blog/the-importance-of-drama.html
2. Can you classify drama as negative or positive, or can it be something else.
Drama is normally given a negative connotation but could there be something else
The definition of drama is a play or emotional events, no where in this does it say whether it has to be good or bad. Just a little push back or some fun. Drama cannot be classified as negative or positive only as drama

How does drama reflect society?
I am interested in finding out how drama reflects society because the way some things happen in life feel as if it was adapted from a play or movie.
Drama reflects society because society tries to imitate drama. Many people watch movies, tv shows, plays, etc. After we watch these things it is normal for us to want to be something that we saw. We also want to portray ourselves like the celebrities we see on tv and in movies. Drama doesn’t imitate life and society, life and society imitates drama.

Topic -the origin of drama
Why i am interested in this - i think drama is really interesting and would like to know where it originated.
What i learned -The two masks associated with drama represent the traditional generic division between comedy and tragedy.
-drama is a composition in verse or prose presenting a story in pantomime or dialogue, containing conflict of characters, particularly the ones who perform in front of audience on the stage

Second topic - dramatic techniques and its benefits
Why i am interested in this- i like drama and if i know more dramatic techniques it can help me understand it better
What i learned- It can be difficult to fully appreciate a piece of drama if you are reading it silently from a book. Dramatic techniques include literary devices and staging elements determined by the playwright, director or stage manager. Dramatic techniques are used by a playwright to enhance the emotional, aural, and visual experience of the audience and to underline a script's meaning

What’s the exact name of the genre?
-Since Drama isn’t the name of the genre I wanted to research what was.(Melodrama) Also
- A melodrama is a dramatic or literary work in which the plot, which is typically sensational and designed to appeal strongly to the emotions, takes precedence over detailed characterization. Characters are often simply drawn, and may appear stereotyped. The term is now also applied to stage performances without incidental music, novels, movies, and television and radio broadcasts. In modern contexts, the term "melodrama" is generally pejorative, as it suggests that the work in question lacks subtlety, character development, or both.
-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melodrama
2. What are the characteristics of Melodrama? Types?
There are many different types of melodrama that writers use for their movies, plays, etc. They also contain about 4 different characteristics.
A simplified moral universe; good and evil are embodied in stock characters.
Episodic form: the villain poses a threat, the hero or heroine escapes, etc.—with a happy ending.
Almost never five acts – usually 2-5 (five acts reserved for "serious" drama).
Many special effects: fires, explosions, drownings, earthquakes.
Canine melodramas: like Lassie
Nautical melodramas: interest in the sea.
Disaster melodramas.

I have always wondered about the process of turning a piece literature into a film. This story is especially of interest to me because I have seen the movie but have not read the book and I would like to know the details that are left out.
Many details of the novel Oliver twist were lost in the movie Oliver. Details such as how far in poverty Oliver was, as well as his origin and how he got into poverty are missing from the movie.

Drama
I'm interested in this subject because it is written specifically for performance. I can act out almost any and everything. I've learned over the previous years that drama isn't just a genre, it is a component of literature. It does not necessarily have to be acted out; just as long as someone can just fro the script. My previous drama teachers explained this to us and wanted us to make sure we knew these things. Mr.Herr explained to us how no matter the genre in drama it should always have the peek of the emotion we are trying to convey.
I am interested in knowing how the authors/artists prepare themselves to write these works of art. Where their minds are when they are writing and even if they go or have gone through the situations they write about. I also want to know how this component became to be. I also want to know the difference between a play and a drama because people ultimately think they are both the same thing. That a drama is a play when it is not
