Another one of the main genre crossovers, could be action-drama which often combines dialogue and character development with intense action scenes and exotic settings.
An example could be the trailer for Black Mass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWsbqshD5TE.
Its evident that this is a drama as most of the trailer is dialogue driven and heavily focused on the main character.
This gives audiences an insight into the mind set of the character who appears very serious and edgy, which might entice audiences to see the film so they can see how his character develops and what he gets up to.
However its also evident that this is part action as the film builds to a climax in which there are multiple action shots, particularly 1:04, 1:21 and 1:38.
This combines well because it supports the dialogue and character development in the first part of the trailer by providing evidence that there will be action as a consequence of the main character and his mind set.
Meanwhile the climax itself is a convention used effectively because right after it there is a shot of the main character laughing which contrasts sharply to the serious climax of the main character killing someone, further suggesting the main character is a loose cannon with a disturbed mind set which would intrigue audiences to see how his character plays out in the film.
This trailer shows both the effectiveness of an action-drama crossover but also how character development supported by action scenes can target fans of both genres.
