Post 5: Who would be the audience for your media product





There will always be a gap in the market for Romantic Comedy films, with a constant plead from audiences for “Chick Flicks” it would be no surprise if a new romance based film would make it big. With romantic comedy films being very popular and after much deliberating we discussed whether making another romantic comedy film would be beneficial to us as distributors. The basic plot of a romantic comedy is that two protagonists, stereotypically a man and a woman, meet and go through the stages of romance together. Studies show that teenagers aged between 14-17 year of age enjoy watching romantic comedies as they can relate to the lives of the characters presented to them. The storyline may appear to be cliché and cheesy, but teen girls love that!

This is Samantha Biggerstaff; she is 16 years old and lives in Kings Langley. Samantha is photographed wearing her school uniform which appears to be smart clothes/office like wear. She enjoys spending time with her friends, shopping and watching films. Samantha enjoys films like Mean Girls, 10 things I hate about you, Princesses Diaries, House Bunny and Sex and The City. She enjoys watching the films at the cinema and then in a later date buying them on DVD and watching them in her friends company. TV programs that appeal to Samantha and her friends include Hollyoaks, Skins, Friends, Once Tree Hill and the occasional reality TV show. Samantha listens to a variety of music including what’s in the charts to local bands that often play in local venues such as the Railway Club – Watford. I think our film would appeal to Samantha, as she is stereotypically a girly girl who enjoys movies from this genre.
