Teen drama from stowlson

Our opening sequence - Absence:

• The plot of the story consists of a young teenage relationship which doesn't have a happy ending. This then leaves the girl to be extremely upset and to have aspects of depression. 

• This attempted to make the story as pragmatic as possible for our target audience to understand and to be sympathetic for the female protagonist as the target audience may have first hand experience about how she is feeling.

• We tried to make the setting, costume and make up to be as realistic and relatable to our audience as much as possible.

• As a group we concluded that our target audience for Absence would be female between the ages of 14-20 year old. This is because our film has many codes and conventions of a Romantic Drama film which is mostly attracted by this target audience which we had picked. This was done by the setting, location, camera angles, clothing, make up etc.
