What is micro drama (short form content) anyway?
They are episodic, short-form content designed to be consumed on mobile phones.
Filmed in a vertical format, these shows are like snack-sized TV series.
The most common characteristics of micro dramas:
⏰ Episodes are usually 1 - 3 minutes long
📆 Seasons run from 50 to 100 episodes
🪝 Concepts are high-concept, hook-based
📺 Most popular genres are romance & supernatural
The tone of micro dramas are usually melodramatic; think fast-paced soap opera with lots of twists, turns & cliffhangers. BUT, there's lots of scope to use other genres like drama, comedy and comedy-drama.
Why make micro dramas?
It's a format that is really taking off. We've written about the explosion of micro dramas in the Asian and U.S. markets here. They are a very accessible way to create content that can cut through the noise of social media, encourages people to follow along, and offers opportunities for brand collaboration and awareness.
