Who Are My Target Audience?

PG

After looking at several Romance films, I have found out that certificates are not a good reference to target audiences, they just rate content. For example, both Sleepless in Seattle and Enchanted are PGs, but they target different audiences.


Sleepless in Seattle targets a more adult theme, Tom Hanks' character is a widow with a son who is searching for more love. Enchanted is based off Fairytales and for people to believe in the romance from fairy tales and therefore the certificate reflects the audience in this case.

The romance genre targets 16-45 years olds, however this is not exclusive. The target age group of any given film is usually reflected through plot and the age of the main characters, this is why my main characters are teenagers and the plot reflects teenage life (school and fitting in.)
