Teen movies - different audiences

Researching target audiences
All films have a specific target audience which the film is aimed at.

Audience: Gender (male)
Superbad 

This film is about two high school students living the ordinary school life. Like any other male they are trying to lose their virginity before they reach college, however for that to happen they need to attend a party with alcohol. With the help of a friend they manage to create a fake I.D and that's where the adventure begins. 

I think this film appeals to males because the storyline of the film is a storyline that most teenage males can relate to. Secondly the film consist of drugs, sex and alcohol and this is something that males crave, therefore they would see this film as exciting and appealing. 

Thirdly the settings that the scenes are set in are locations that you would find males for example their friends house, school and party.

Audience: Gender (female)
Easy A 

This movie is about a girl who relies on school's rumours to increase her social and finical status.

This movie appeals to females because a lot of females have to deal with rumours at school. Another reason why is because the star of the film is a female meaning males are less likely to watch this film. 

Lastly one of the genres used in this film is romance which is a genre which is mostly aimed at females and therefore females would enjoy watching this film. 

Audience: Gender (female&male)

The breakfast club

In this film there are a group of teenagers meet in detention, they are from different social groups and within the time they spend together they share secrets and figure out that have a lot in common.

Also because a lot of the actors played in the film were popular stars therefore teenagers would have been interested in watching the film to see the stars.
