Moodboard

Based on my group's survey, interviews, and focus group we were able to create a moodboard to demonstrate the overall 'feel' of our target audience and who we were trying to attract.

From knowledge of previous films and preferences made by our target audience our group put together an arrangement of images to connote our target audience. From research, we found that a typical character used in the Teen Romance genre is an outcast. For this reason we intertwined images linking to this. These including books, film and music lyrics and music. We want to attract a more mature audience and so the elements included were not typically girly (for example shopping, make up) but instead we wanted to create a more realistic version of teens, like some Teen Romance films do, and an outcast is a typical personality type found in teens. We wanted to make a more representational image of teens so that the audience can actually relate to the film, which was voted as being important in a Teen Romance. We wanted to show the general feelings of loneliness that is felt by teens, and we felt that the bird cage was a suitable image for this. The birdcage connotes the feeling of being 'trapped', teens are trapped under typical expectations of their generation and for this reason we want to make our film a real representation of teens, like most Teen Romance Dramas do. We included some music based iconography for example a guitar, headphones and record. We believed that outcasts have a key love for music because it allows them to escape from their problems, this is the same for reading, writing, bike riding, sleeping and doodling. We included some quotes from other Teen Romance Drama films like the Perks of Being a Wallflower, and just general quotes for example "write about me sometime", this connotes the need for love and the key hobby (again) of writing and reading.
