Target Audience

Coming-of-age films are typically made for teenagers and young adults, usually between 12 and 18, because they depict the ups and downs of growing up. These movies explore self-discovery, friendships, romance, and figuring out who you are. Characters go through real teenage struggles that the audience can relate to, making these films engaging and emotionally impactful.

To make sure that these films connect with teenagers, filmmakers develop realistic characters and narratives that reflect their everyday experiences. The audience relates to the main character's struggles, whether its friendship struggles, family drama, academic pressure, or even personal development. A lot of these films feature romance, fashion, and music, which all tend to appeal to teenage girls. 

Producers make coming-of-age films because they know their audience, which is mostly teenagers, especially girls who enjoy stories with romance, music, and sports. These films usually feature relatable characters that teens can connect with. By using familiar themes and settings, like school and friendships, filmmakers can appeal to this audience.

For my film opening, I am considering following a group of friends, focusing on their growth and struggles with things like maybe school. By using music, fashion, and real settings, I can create a film that feels true to the coming-of-age genre and speaks to teenagers.
