Coming of age films are usually
targeted at a teenage audience
as they can relate to the
journey's characters are
experiencing. The films however,
could feature explicit content
that could make the rating rise
over 18.
This genre could also be split
into two sections, a younger
audience and an older
audience. This also gives the
genre a variety of viewers.
Our main target audience would be an audience who can relate to
the topic of our film and could understand what the protagonist is
going through. On the other hand, I think that our film could be
directed towards many audiences but 'coming of age' viewers would
take to it best.
The narrative is mainly female in our film and although this is
the case, we would market the film to both sexes to create a
fair viewing. By having characters that are both male and
female, it means our piece will appeal to both sexes, therefore
creating a wider audience spread.
As this genre focuses on the growth of the protagonist and their journey,
I think that personal growth and their internal/external change is
extremely important. This is why we decided to include every convention
of the genre in our piece. I think that this enhanced our film and made
the narrative strong.
