20. Teen film of my choice - questions - Donnie Darko

8. What is Genre and what is a Teen Drama film?

What is Genre?


After receiving insight from the all powerful source of information, Google, we have concluded that a suitable definition of the word 'genre' is that it is a style or category of art, music or literature. Some examples of genres of Music would include, Pop, Soul, Jazz, Blues and Rock. Some examples of genres of literature is Poem, Novel, Non-fiction, Fiction, Drama, Romance and Mystery. These examples are obviously useless, as we are speaking about the genres in film. Some examples of genre in film would include, Drama, Rom-com, Comedy, Superhero and Action. Genre is often talked about in two ways: Either Semantic (the way the film looks) or Syntactic (the story the film tells).

What is a Teen Drama?


In our case, Teen Drama is a genre of film. Teen Drama could be split into two further categories (sub-genres) called High School Drama and Teen Drama. A teen Drama focuses around the plight of teenagers. Commonly, the story centers aroung a tennager's (or group of teenagers') idea of their 'coming of age'.

The conventions included in Teen Drama films would include:
-Authority in school or home (often with their disputes with the concept of authority)
-Parents and/or teachers
-Groups of friends
-Adolescent Characters

What institutions are involved in making a Teen Drama film?





7. Jack's favourite title sequence analysis

Oh gosh, you're all in for a treat today, you lucky people. Today, I will be showing the title sequence of my favourite film,


First of all, here is the actual title sequence.



Número uno: Order of titles.

-Ident of the Distribution Company, Universal Pictures.


-The Producer, Steven Spielberg


-The Director, Robert Zemeckis


-The Title of the film


-The main cast


-Who the casting was by


-Who the main song is by


-Who the music is by


-The Editors


-The Production Designer


-The Director of Photography


-The Executive Producers


-The Writers of the film


-And finally, the Director


Nummer Zwei: Category/ Type of title

This tile sequence is narrative as it fits into the story (kinda) and introduces the main protagonist, Marty McFly in Doc Brown's garage. 

Le numéro trois: The font/typeface which is used 

The font looks a lot like Arial, however with slight differences.

Number four: What ation we see behind the titles

We see clocks. Many clocks. Ticking away. tick, tick, tick. We also see our main protagonist, Marty plug his guitar into an amplifier and turn it on, to maximum amplitude, and inevitably blowing the giant speaker. Rock 'n' roll.
