Genre Analysis - Coming of Age Films

Short Film 
Genre - Coming of Age 

The short film I have decided to create is based in the coming of age genre. This genre frequently blends elements of various different genres. Often they are a mixture of drama and comedy and then contain smaller elements of other genres such as tragedy. They are told almost exclusively from the perspective of a young adult from ages ranging from 16 to about 20 years old and tracks a change to their character across about a year on average. This formula has been applied to older characters but this is fairly rare.

Some examples of films in this genre  

Edge of Seventeen
Perks of Being A Wall Flower 
Juno
Breakfast Club
Boyhood
