Who were teen drama films originally made for?

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.

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.
