Analysis of the Conventions of British Drama.

This is an analysis of the genre of British Drama which also have a element of crime. We have looked at the films; The Full Monty, Trainspotting, This Is England, A Clockwork Orange and Brassed Off.

We have established that most British Dramas include:

Kitchen sink realism - rather condescending title applied from the late 1950s onwards in Britain to the then new wave of realistic drama depicting the family lives of working‐class character.

Enigmas - something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained.

Dull Colours - Dull colours to reflect the boring, unexciting lives of the characters.
