Audience, narrative, representations and genre

Now thatI have decided on an idea for my film I have thought about who my target audience will be, the representations I will convey and the narrative I will use.

Genre:
Teen Drama

Audience:
Teenagers aged between 14 and 19. (See my Target Audience Profile post for a more detailed description.)

Narrative:
My short film will have almost no dialogue so I will mainly set the mood using editing techniques such as colour correction, the addition of non-diegetic sound and through mise en scene and the camera angles I use. For example, close ups to show expression, dull colours to convey a sad mood, sad/happy music etc.

Representations:
The representations I intend to convey will be everyday issues that my target audience (teenagers) might face. The main themes will be bullying, on-line friendships and real friendships. Although these representations are simple I feel they will both interest and help my target audience.
