Summary of similarities and differences between high school drama and youth drama title sequences:

The main difference between high school dramas and youth dramas is that high school dramas tend to just have one main production company e.g. Walt Disney and Paramount. This is because they are successful production companies and are able to afford the expenses of a film. However youth drama films are more independent so they need various institutes to help fund for and produce their film. As high school dramas are associated with a mainstream company, it gives their film prestige and makes it become more well-known. In high school dramas, the narrative of the film is more narrative therefore it gives a clear idea of what the film is going to be about. On the other hand, the narrative of youth drama films are more discrete and stylised so it makes it more difficult for the audience to know what is going to happen next.
