Originally, teen drama films were created for teens of around 15 upwards. These films were created to entertain, teach and entice young people hence the reason the characters portrayed were teenagers
I knew that to attract our target audience group to our film, I would have to use the conventions of a normal teen drama.
illegal substances
interpersonal conflict with peers
The Misfit/The Outcast
Who watches them now?
Now teen drama films have a much broader audience range. This includes young adult from 19 - 25 and possibly adults from the older generations.
This is simply because, they could be comparing their generation to ours.
In Relation to my film?
Because there was a chance that I could attract an even broader audience, I made sure to expand my target audience and tried to appeal to young adults also. I did this by having the story line more mature.
My Sub Genre
My Sub Genre is 'Teen Drama'
The audience I have tried to attract are mainly Londoners
That may have similar lives - Urban Kids
They are still the same age as the target audience for a normal teen drama however we have made it broader to appeal to over 18's
here are examples of teen drama's that appeal to an older age also
