Representation

The audience for our film will be aimed at teenage girls and women as a romantic comedy is usually aimed at this gender.

Women in romantic comedy's are usually represented as they need a man and are all about romance. In the films i have researched the main characters are usually women who are going through a break-up and are looking for a new man in their lives's. It shows them going through real life situations which end up being awkward situations making it a comedy. I think women relate to the characters in these films because they usually show real life situations and what a lot of people go through when finding a relationship. In our film we want to bring the typical sterotype through in our characters to show that women will do stupid things for love. 

Men are usually represented in a romantic comedy as the humourous ones and the ones who don't care about the relationship. They are represented as the ones that don't care and just want to have fun. A romantic comedy isn't usually aimed at men but i think the films try and make the characters relate to real life situations so men can enjoy watching the films as much as women do. They are usually 2 types of men the one that is attractive and the women are instantly attracted to and then the 'geek' kind of man who she falls in love with at the end. If we include a man in our opening film we will make him seem like he isnt bothered and all he wants is a bit of fun.
