that people aren't always
who they pretend to be.

film will be targeted at
teenagers.

Th main colours that we will
use in our branding with be
pinks and purples as these
are stereotypical
colour representations of
girls.

film is that the genre starts out as
a conventional teen drama but
takes a psychological turn when
things get bad.

RepresentationAfter analysing a number
of film poster, we are
taking inspiration from a
number of them.
The labels above the characters
names in 'The DUFF' film
poster suits our storyline as
well.
We are going to use
purples and pinks as our
colour scheme, similar to
'Mean Girls'
We want to portray the
storyline through the
image on our poster.
We will include all three
characters in the image but
make it clear that one of
them is being left out.
It would also be a good idea to
include some of the messages
to new girl receives as quotes or
as part of the image to draw the
audience in.
The genre will be
emphasied through
our colours used and
the image showing a
conventional story of
that genre.

Representation
We will still use the same
colours as used within the
film poster but in a
different way.
We will use a different
image to the one on the
poster but it will be of
similar style to the
magazine/ posters we have
looked at
We will still use the
same colour scheme
of pink and purple
colours
May have to
change style of our
magazine to fit the
house style of that
magazine
A different image will be
used to make it more
interesting and to attract
as broad as audience as
possible.
We will use the same
characters on the front
of the magazine cover
as the poster
We will use bold, bright
colours to make it like a
teen drama
We will include the three main
characters on the magazine
cover in a similar way to the
poster to portray the storyline

Reaching
our target
audience
16-25 year old's skewed
towards females
In 2014, 15-24 year old's
made up the largest
proportion of the UK
cinema audience, at 31%
A wide range of genres appealed to women,
whereas men were drawn to films with a
strong action element.
Our target audience will not necessarily be
frequent cinema-goers but with the right
promotion will go an see films on the
occasion.
The younger part of the
audience are likely to be able to
relate to the characters and the
storyline.
The target audience will be big on social
media and always on their phones and
connecting to people via the internet.
As our target audience will be
frequent social media users, we will
promote the film through various
social medias, which is also free.
They will see our products
on all of the social media
sites below.
