Category/type of title: The titles begin on a still image (black screen) and then move on to a moving image. Additionally, the titles are a narrative as we learn that the boy (presumably the main character) is pretending to be ill in order to stay off of school. His sister is clearly jealous that he gets a day off of school and attempts to persuade her parents he is faking it.
Font: The font used is blue capitalized letters, which not only stand out from the action taking place from behind, but also could link to the fact that there is a male lead character.
Summary about the order and type of title sequences in High School Drama films: High School Drama films tend to have just one main production company e.g. Walt Disney pictures and Paramount. This also gives the film a mainstream title as a well-known company were involved in the budget and the production/distribution. Additionally, High School Drama films are more narrative which makes the message and aim easier to understand as an audience, and you can gain idea of what is going to happen in the film.

The action we see taking place is just the journey of Juno walking through her neighbourhood with a bottle of Sunny-D.
Font: The font used is handwritten and disjointed, all of different colours.

Category/type of title: The title sequence doesn't contain any narrative as it just shows a collection of famous clips from the era the film is set e.g. Margaret Thatcher when she was prime minister and Princess Diana's royal wedding. Also, the titles are presented on a still image at the beginning and then onto the famous clips.
Font: The font used is quite small and white with some graphic fading effects.
Summary about the order and type of title sequences in Youth Drama films: Youth Dramas appear to have a lot more production companies involved and this is due to them being independent and having to receive their budget from various institutes. Additionally, the narratives of the opening sequences are discrete and stylised, meaning it's harder to understand the message of what is going to happen and get an idea of where it's going.
