Applying Genre to our Final Idea

Due to our main characters being the binary oppositions of male and female, the audience can assume that this the genre is romance, because they can instantly see the boy and girl being together. They can also assume that this would be a teen drama, because most teen drama films are usually set in schools regardless of nationality.

Using Buckingham's theory, we can show that our film is different from any other teen romance/drama. Our film includes the aspect of disability, which is our primary focus. Most teen films, with the exception of the recent film The Fault In Our Stars, don't highlight disabilities. Our film is different because it draws attention to that subject, and therefore isn't falling into the mainstream category of teen dramas.

Neale's theory shows some characteristics of Faith's character to be strong and independent; how she can get around without using her stick and be so calm about being bullied. She is also confident in her appearance, as she is seen wearing odd shoes (as we decided was a good idea for her costume) and not caring about what other people think. Even though she has Ethan to guide her, some things about her are stronger.
