What is Genre?
The term genre means 'category' or 'type' and is useful when discussing film because it helps to group or organise different films according to what they are about and what they look like. This helps producers make and market their film to audiences, and it helps audiences make decisions about what films they want to see. Genres are constantly evolving in order to keep films interesting and new for audiences and so the conventions of each genre can change over time. More often than not, teen dramas have soap opera elements, incorporating one or more ongoing story arcs spanning several episodes. The young characters must deal with the dramatic ups and downs of their friendships and romances while facing an array of issues to be typical of adolescence. There have also been many successful teen-based series with major science-fiction, fantasy and action/adventure themes. Most of these shows have a substantial amount of comedy.
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. It came into prominence in the early 1990's, especially with the popularity of the Fox series Beverly Hills. After the show became a success, television writers and producers realised the potential for this new genre to reach out to a previously ignored demographic. In the past, most series that maintained a focus on teenagers had been sitcoms, while adolescents in drama series were usually part of a larger ensemble that included adults and children.
