Film audiences

Films for a male and female teen audience.

"Detention" is a teen film i watched recently. It is a comedy-horror and therefore more accessible to those who may find horror as the more entertaining genre. It features i pre-hunger games Josh Hutcherson. Set in highschool there is a murderer on the loose in this town, while trying to figure out who this murderer is comedy is used throughout this film. This film appeals to both sexes as the although the main character is female the horror and comedy used throughout make the film appealing to a male audience as well. Themes of love, friendship and crime are used in the film. It also has a number of characters like the 'jock', the 'nerd', the 'outsider' the 'popular girl', the 'loser' etc.
Teen films for a male audience.

"Anuvahood" is a film for a male teen audience as the main characters dream is to be a rapper, a dream commonly associated with boys. The features celebrities like Adam deacon and Bashy, therefore making it more appealing to the male audience. The film is a comedy that uses violence, romance, friendship and rivalry between "cliques". The main character wants to get away from the life he is living and live his dream...to become a rapper. Teenage boys will relate to this film because of the storyline and the themes. As the main character gets into trouble a lot and is pressurised by family and friends.


Films like "Sleepover", "LOL" and "Bring It On" are for a female audience.

  "Sleepover" is a teen film set in highschool. There is rivalry between cliques as well as romance and scenes at prom, in the car and at home in the bedroom and kitchen.

As well as starring some of my favourite actors like Miley Cyrus, Douglas Booth, Ashley Greene and Adam Sevani. Also set in a highschool (i see a pattern emerging) the film is something that i can watch over and over again and never get bored.

And last but DEFINITELY not least we have the "Bring it on" films, the above being "In it to win it." This films features cliques and romance, heart ache and friendship and is comedy. It is a great feel good film and loved by teens because of how quirky and cool it is.
