The genre that I would like to use in my short film is Teen Drama because I have a lot of resources to use for a film of this genre and would be able to come up with a lot of great ideas. Being a teenager, I know a lot of drama and common problems for a teenager. Teen Drama is a large genre because teenage years are an age for drama. Here are a some examples of Teen Drama films:
Kids (1995)
Films of this genre often have a protagonist main character with a flaw or issue that makes the character interesting or appealing to the audience. Throughout the story, they face rising actions and overcome their issue during the climax. Common issues in teen dramas are fitting in, drugs, abuse, relationship, teen pregnancy and sex just to name a few. The teenagers are usually stereotyped as nerds, punks, outcasts, jocks or cheerleaders in teen dramas. Also, most of these films have happy endings by solving their issue and or learning a lesson. The acting in these films are usually exaggerated about how teenagers act. They never really are portrayed exactly, but that is the filmic touch on the genre. The settings of these films often vary but common places are schools and big cities. These films do not usually have a complex cinematography and the film really neutral angles. Teenage Drama films usually have a score consisting of music for a teenage crowd. Music that is appealing to teenagers and young adults possibly, which is usually radio played music for the films that can afford to use those songs. The logline for my upcoming short film will be this:
Teenage boy suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, finds way to cope with his issue.
