Film Opening Genre - Dramedy

Dramedy (Comedy-drama)

My group and I have decided on a dramedy (comedy-drama) as the genre for our film opening. It is basically a film that is a comedy and a drama, and "dramedy" is just a mix of those two words. Dramedies portray events with comedic and dramatic elements integrated as part of the development. The genre is not meant to be a drama or comedy with only some elements of the other genre integrated. It is meant to have a balance with approximately the same amount of elements from each genre.

These films must focus mainly on drama elements such as character development, intense emotions and inner conflict for the plot. Other movies such as adventure, action, and scifi most of the time, do not pertain to the dramedy genre. What separates these movies is that the main story line is primarily adventure. Even if it still has comedy and drama, it is not considered to be a dramedy.

I am looking to focus more on teen dramedy for my film opening. These films contain mostly teenage characters and problems relating to teenage life. The conflicts are usually related to other teens in the film. It could be a conflict in between themselves or a conflict between themselves and a situation. Also, it includes the irresponsible, reckless, and rebellious nature of teens and uses that to develop the plot.
