It is most important to check out the categories and tick off each one too make you film successful. My film which at the moment provisionally is a chick flick is aimed at 13-17 year old females. To make my film appealing and to make profit if i were to release i would have to consider
Age
whats suitable for 13-17 year olds? i would have to bear in mind that something suitable for a 17 year old will most probably not be suitable for 13 year olds. Also a relevant storyline/narrative, i would have to do more research into what is going on in teen life at the moment. Obviously there is the obvious heartbreak and the 'gay' bestfriend. I will also have to think carefully not to make my characters to stereotypical, I will have to include characters that can relate to teenagers but make sure they are not too cheesy.
Gender
In the cinema, recent surveys showed that male audiences dominate. My film is targeted more at girls but i will have to also think of the boys that will go to see it with there girlfriends, have something for them to watch also. Maybe like 'freaky friday' the annoying little brother harry and the grandpa who are quite humourous and immature.
some other things i may want to think about are
Location,
Occupation,
Lifestyle choices,
Political backgrounds,
ethnicity and attitudes.
