 The genre we will be using for our opening sequence will be drama. Originally, we could not figure out what genre our pitch goes under. We were going to make it a romance and have the two main actors have some type of love connection. Then we changed that idea and thought it should be a comedy in which a lot of jokes would be made and audience laughter would play throughout the opening. We then realized since our pitch has something to do with coming of age, emotional/relational development, and struggles it would make the most sense to put this in the drama category.

Most people enjoy a good movie while others enjoy a good book. Some people enjoy fun animated movies while others enjoy ones that address issues and problems that go on in this world. These issues range from racism to climate change and pollution. The typical category that films like those fall under is drama. Ask yourself, what is the purpose of a Drama film?
