After conducting this small survey, I've found out that when watching a romance film my target audience expect:

  • A Happy Ending
  • A Season depending on plot *
  • Characters slightly older/same age as themselves (18-25 was most)
  • They don't really mind about the type of relationship
  • From both the girl's and boy's perspective

* They suggested: 
Summer - Teenage relationship
Winter - A Tragic relationship
Autumn/Spring-
