Absence

• The film represents the story of a teenage couple, this leads to the female being depressed. The costumes and setting is realistic and shows a portrayal of reality.
• As a group we decided this genre as it fits with our original idea for a target audience. 
• The opening sequence is an epilogue, it illuminates the after effect of the break down in the relationship.  

Our target audience research concludes of women aged 14-20 years old, therefore using the convention of a woman and man in this age range it will attract our target audience. As you can see from my research, our film follows the codes and conventions of a Romantic Drama genre. It follows the conventions of locations, costumes and camera angles.
