Genre Research

Genre Research for the Portfolio Project

The genre that we decided to do for the portfolio project is Sports Drama. We decided that this genre is very prevalent in the current times and we have a lot of inspiration as me and my partner watch many movies and tv shows that are related to sports drama. We have drawn inspiration from shows such as All America.

All America was a successful show that had a peak of a million views during 2020-21. All American goes into the life of a football athlete and how he faces multiple challenges such as his social and how some are his friends choose the streets and how he can manage those bad influences and help him at the same time. We draw inspiration from All American because we want our athlete to face challenges while wanting to pursue his sport.

There was another movie that we drew inspiration it is called American Underground. The movie is based on a real-life quarterback Kurt Warner that faced the challenge of being a nobody and wanting to prove himself in order to provide for his family. We are inspired by this movie because like in the movie Kurt is extremely passionate about football like our main character.
