8. Audience Profile
• The target audience we will be aiming for our short film would
be mostly females from 12-25 years old. This is merely due to
the reason that the main character is a female teenager which
s something that boys wouldn’t really be interested in. We
chose this age range because the girl is a teenager so most
teenagers and young women would be able to relate to her
story.
• The certificate of our short film would be 12, this is because
there isn’t anything that’s really inappropriate in our short
films for young individuals to watch as it doesn’t contain any;
nudity, drugs, sexual actions or discrimination. However we
gave our film this certificate as it does contain a sensitive
theme.
9. Central Character Profile
• MAIN CHARACTER: Ava
• Ava is a 15 year old girl who is in year
11, she has stage 3 cancer. Ava was
diagnosed with cancer at the age of
10. Ava is a fun and sociable teen that
likes to spend time with her friends
having sleepovers and going shopping.
Ava lives with her Dad and her 2 sister
and younger brother. She lives in a flat
and because of her big family it is a bit
of a squash. Ava's doctors have said
that she has 6 months left to live but
Ava will not let anything stand in her
way.
10. Other featuring characters
Hazel:
Hazel is 16 years old and her and Ava have been best friends since they were
in nursery. Hazel has supported Ava through her cancer treatment by going to
visit her in the hospital and going round to Ava house as often as possible.
Hazel has a loving character and always put others before herself. Hazel has
always been a grade A student but has never bragged about this. Hazel lives
with her parents and younger sister.
Kim, Jess and Jade:
Kim (15), Jess(16) and Jade (16) met Ava and Hazel in Year 7 and they have
been really close friends ever since. They have supported Ava since they
found out that she was fighting cancer. They are all fun and loving teenage
girls and love to spend time together.
12. Sound
We are still deciding on what music we will like to
feature within our film however the style in which will
be included will be current upbeat songs in order to
show that even though Ava has cancer she is just like
an regular fun loving teen.
We have decided that for the scene in which Ava
reveals to the audience that she has cancer a sad
piano composition will be played in order to emphasis
that the short film is indeed an emotional drama. This
composition will also be created by Skye.
