Codes & conventions of Teen drama

The genre of the film we are doing falls under a few genres, the main 3 are Romance/Teen drama. Some of the key features of a Romance film are that they explore the themes of, love at first sight, unrequited love, forbidden love, obsessive love, tragic love, etc. our film idea is more along the lines of, love at first sight and eventually tragic love. Romantic films serve as escapes for audiences and allows them to fantasize about having a love like the characters on screen, especially if the two people overcome any obstacles there may be in the way of their love, live a 'happily ever after' or declare their love for each other after years of ignoring it.
From watching a few title sequences that feature our genre, I have discovered that they usually feature a lot of red and pink, which connotes love and passion and also anger and death.
The title sequence for the romance drama film 'One day' features pictures of a couple on a pin board. It also features a slow, romantic song. All the title sequences I watched heavily feature music with an acoustic guitar in the background, I think this is something we should include in our title sequence.
Some other things that feature in romantic/teen drama title sequences are meeting the main characters, and discovering things about them. This is key within most title sequences, but in a romance drama title sequence you should be able to get to know the characters and feel like you know them by the time the film starts. From watching many romance & drama title sequences we have felt like we know the main characters of the film within just a few minutes. This is something we would like to include in our title sequence. We would like the audience to feel a connection with the main character and feel like they know them and is someone they could be friends with by the time our title sequence is over.
Our genre also falls under 'teen drama'. A teen drama is a type of drama series that mainly focuses on the lives of teenagers and the teenage characters. In this genre there is usually a character who is an underdog, this character could be new to the school or is already an unpopular person. There is also usually a narrator in a teen drama. This gives the audience an idea of how that character feels and allows us to  see the film from that characters perspective. In a teen drama title sequence there is usually music playing in the background. This is either upbeat or acoustic guitars/slower music. Music always plays a big part in a teen drama film, it will also play a big part in our title sequence.
