The ongoing action of adapting something into a dramatic form or making it seem more theatrical and exciting.
From dramatize + -ing suffix (present participle), where -ing marks continuous or ongoing action and can also function as a noun (gerund).
The -ing ending is ancient—it comes from Old English and Old Norse, and it's one reason English is so flexible: you can instantly turn any verb into a noun by adding -ing, which is why 'dramatizing' works both as an action ('she is dramatizing') and as a thing ('dramatizing is her job').
