After discussing our plans, Nati and I decided on our target audience!
Considering our plot, we decided that showing the girl growing up in a toxic environment and becoming a rebellious person is definitely not for younger viewers. We have also decided to portray substance abuse towards the end of the film opening after the girl leaves her home. This is why for our target audience we are going with young adults or older adults, ages 18-45. The content appeals to those who are mature enough to understand what we are showing.
Our goal is to raise awareness for people living in harsh and toxic homes, and to those that turn to drugs as an escape. I am fortunate enough to not have issues with these topics, but I know many people are not.
Additionally to the previous post I made, within the drama genre, the films rely on emotional and relational development for characters. More specifically, in tragedy dramas, the character experiences their downfall due to flaws within themselves. For this, we took inspiration from the TV show This Is Us which has part of the plot the same as ours. The characters Jack and Nick dealt with family problems, causing them to leave their home as well. Our plot would play out similarly, but we still need to decide on the subject’s name and other details like that. I believe we will plan this out during the weekend or next class on Tuesday.
