Target Audience for teenage Romcom’s

Using Burton’s theory of socially and media grouped audience, the audience for Teen Romcoms would be:

Social Group

-Teenagers aged 13-17- Mainly Females- As most teenage Romcom’s are American the target audience would tend to be American and British citizens

Media Group

- Often read romantic novels- Likes watching comedies or films based on love- Could watch sitcoms or sequel programmes such as “One Tree Hill” which are also based on the lives of teenagers

Audience motivesUses and Gratifications

Audiences watch/read medias for their own purpose or to gain something out of it

For Rom-coms the target audience would watch to gain some form of entertainment out of it. As the genre is comical and would therefore make the audience laugh attracting them to see it.

The Rom-com trailer would also be informative as trailers include information about release dates/actors and the plot of the film
