After analysing two different title sequences from both sub-genres: High School drama and Youth Drama, I recorded the order the opening credits were introduced and analysed different factors from typology to the amount of content (cast or participants of the movie) they mentioned.
One of the Youth Drama films I analysed was 'Kidulthood'. The title scene beings with the 4 production companies which helped produced the movie and goes straight to the movie title which has the typology of big bold text and is a informal typology due to the fact that some letters are written in caps lock while others written in lower case letters and is placed on a black background to allow the film title to catch the attention of the audience instantly.
The title sequence of the Youth Drama 'Kidulthood' is polar-opposite to the title sequences of High School Dramas; '10 Things I Hate About You' consists of several opening credits to the movie beginning with the production company, followed by the movie title which has the typology of an animated font to show that the movie is about teenage life and is sort of in a rough handwritten format to show the handwriting style college students tend to use when talking notes. Title is succeeded by two cast of the main cast members due to the notability of their acting careers then is followed by different types participants of the movie from the production designer to who its written by.
The similarities they both of the sub-genre title sequences that I analysed is that they both mention the production companies that helped produce their movie, however, more differences seem to appear between High School and Youth dramas, for example, the title sequences of High School dramas contain a lot of effort put into them and have a high budget to produce their movie, whereas, Youth Dramas contain only the title and maybe some casts as they are on low budgets and the less and simple their titles are then the low the price.
