12. Order of titles

11

Lots of teen dramas usually have similar structure and events that occur in them. But however they are also put into very different and contrasting sub-categories. 

Comedy - You can usually relate to it, due to it having many issues or events that happens in everyday teenage life, such as social lives or relationships. An example for this, is The Inbetweeners.

Sci-Fi - Usually set in the future , with very futuristic surroundings, and also usually involves technology and machines.  An example for this is Star-Crossed

Fantasy - It usually has a supernatural element like vampires or  werewolf's, which is usually to do with having links to being supernatural, but having to hide it from the normal world.  An example of this, is Vampire Diaries

Action - It is often about good against evil, with elements of violence and also sometime it has elements of romance. An example of this is Smallville

11. Teen Drama Sub-Genres

Even though many teen dramas follow the general stucture of young actors, middle class in a school environment, some teen dramas can also be sub-categorized into genres such as:

Science Fiction 
- Futuristic settings, sciene and technology
(such as Roswell, Kyle XY and Star-Crossed)

Action/Adventure 
- An exciting undertaking involving risk and physical danger
(such as Smallville)

Fantasy
- uses magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary plot element.
(such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Teen Wolf and The Vampire Diaries)

Mystery 
- focuses on the efforts of the detective, private investigator or amateur sleuth to solve the mysterious circumstances of a crime by means of clues, investigation, and clever deduction.
(such as Veronica Mars and Pretty Little Liars).

7. My favourite Film Analysis

One of my favourite films is Toy Story, a Walt Disney production screened globally in 1995.




Title Sequence


This title sequence is title over moving image, as the text is placed over the opening of the film. During the beginning of the title sequence, the young boy and toy figures are introduced, establishing the main characters of the film. The young boy is playing with the toys, suggesting that this film is centred around young kids, which suggests that this film is targeted towards a young audience. The first title used is the owner Walt Disney, which is synced with friendly positive music with the lyrics 'you got a friend in me' which suggests that this movie is about the relationship between the boy and his toys, allowing the audience to foreshadow that plot line of the movie.
