After exploring and narrowing down my choices for my genre, I decided to also explore the subgenres of a Teen Drama, Psychological, and Coming-of-Age. Here are some I am considering:
Teen Drama
-Highschool drama
-Sports/arts drama
-Friendship drama
Psychological
-Psychological Coming-of-Age
-Psychological character study
-Psychological realism
Coming-of-Age
-Bildungsroman
-Artistic/athletic Coming-of-Age
-Self-discovery drama
Out of all of the subgenres Bildungsroman stood out as the most effective choice for my film opening. The "Teen Drama" genre has way too much content to be shown in a two minute video. In contrast, using either the Bildungsroman allows more room for character development, self-discovery, and internal conflict plots.
The Bildungsroman genre literally translates to "novel of education" focusing on a complex developmental story. It is similar to the Coming-of-Age, where the plot is driven by a characters growth. Where the protagonist hopes to find answers to conflicts through personal growth. Usually encountering a problem that drives the storyline. Two examples of this genre is Harry Potter and Lady Bird.
This chart helped me understand exactly:
