Genre is "a style or category of art, music, or literature." In terms of Media and Film specifically, genre is the type of movie it is. This could consist of Adventure, Fantasy, Thriller, Comedy, Romantic Comedy, Horror and many more.
The genre we will be looking at specifically is Teen Drama. Teen Drama is a genre that is generally targeted at teenagers or young adults as the plot is based on people their age and therefore, this may appeal to them. The plot generally tends to circle around the following themes: coming of age, love, rebellion and conflict. They're usually set in schools or places of education and most of them have underlying sexual themes and crude humour.
Many different institutions are now beginning to make teen films as it is a growing market place and many more people are beginning to create them.
The types of titles that teen drama films use can vary. Most of them, however, use narrative titles and aren't usually stylised. Many of them actually don't have a signficant title sequence but simply show the production company, the studio company and the name of the film.
