- In high school drama films we usually see many cast members and extras such as costume designers, production, casting and the writer and director, etc. They are typically narrative and the title is in front of a moving image which give the viewer a glimpse of the typical high school life/the life of a teenager attending high school and experiencing the coming of age.
Submarine timeline - Youth Drama
- Youth drama films are similar to high school dramas in terms of the titles seen and the order they're usually seen in, for example: the production company first, title, main cast and so on, however they're not usually typical regarding the category/type of title. For example, Juno featured titles in front of an animation which was stylised and This is England incorporated the title in front of moving images, however was discrete and not relevant to the actual movie (not narrative).
Overall, the differences between youth and high school drama are clear - youth dramas are often less focused on narrative and free to be more discrete/stylised, generally with more creativity, also obvious in the alternative fonts used. They are also, most often, independent films with many production companies, aside from this, their main focus is generally on a teenage boy/main character and his experiences, in contrast to high school dramas; focusing on one (or several) teenage girls' lives and their experiences at high school, narrative and following what they do, with many different cast members featured in the credits in the title sequence.
