Common camera angles in drama films are usually close-up shots to capture the actor's emotions. Long-shots are where the actor/ object is usually centered and all the attention is on them. Over-shoulder shots usually happen when a character is having a conversation and show the emotions on the person's face. An extreme close-up shows the intensity that is going on in that particular scene. Many drama movies are edited so that the main characters' face is one of the first things you see. It also has lots of POV shots, it shows the character's face then what they are seeing, it would switch back and forth between each view. When it comes to sound many films have diegetic and non-diegetic sounds. Diegetic sounds are sounds that happen inside the world of the story, while on the other hand, non-diegetic sounds are sounds that take place outside of the story. They also use lots of voiceovers to give information about the characters and a little back story about them. The voiceovers usually narrate what's going on in the film before introducing the main characters. Incidental music is also used to add emotion and rhythm to the drama. Sometimes they add this music to link the scenes together, they may add the same sound when an individual character comes on.
