My official genre I will be choosing is Bildungsroman. I noticed that it combines all of the genre I had chosen from my "Genre Research: Choosing my Genre" blog post. From a Teen Drama focusing on highschool relations, Psychological having internal conflict, and coming of age gives the audience a deeper look at what the character feels. I think what I picked out after all the research aligns best with my intention of communicating a message through the film opening.
Reflection:
After looking at the three major genres Teen Drama, Psychological, and Coming-of-Age, I still felt stuck. After looking more into each sub genre I felt like I was finally getting somewhere with my idea for this film opening. I think choosing a genre is very critical because if you can't convey meaning through your film opening what is the point. Your audience needs to understand exactly what you are putting out. The Bildungsroman genre focuses on teenager learning and growing through an art, sport, etc.

The photos below shows what it is like being on the floor for color guard. Each performer tells a story through struggle and pressure before performing to the passion and release showed during finals.
What's next?
Now that I have my genre chosen, I need to learn how to demonstrate this genre. After reading a website on the Bildungsroman genre, I will use these questions to help me strengthen my genre choice: Consider what journey your protagonist is on? What questions do they have about the world they live in? And how will they answer these through external factors? What kind of external conflict will they face?
