4. WHY WE CHOSE ROMANCE
Before we came up with our idea we decided that we will
aim our short film towards 12-28 year olds. This is one of
the reasons why we chose romance as romance is a
popular genre amongst them. Relationships and love is
something our target audience could relate to therefore
romance is the best genre to do for our film. We also
haven’t made a romantic film before therefore we wanted
to try something new.
