Research: Teen Dramas -Title Sequences - Research into Institutions

Teen Dramas
Genre is a way of categorising a particular media text according to its content and style.

Genre does not rely simply on what's in a media text but also on the way it is put together (constructed). This can be important, for example, when distinguishing between a horror movie and a thriller, which can deal with similar subject matter, and look the same — lots of action set at night — but belong to separate genres (a horror film takes the audience into a supernatural place, where a thriller sticks to reality).

A teen drama is a type of drama series with a major focus on teenage characters. The genre was relatively non-existent during the first 45 years of television.  Particularly in the 1950's, films began to focus on the emergence of the teenager, about whom a teen film could be made and sold to.
