The mood-board represents our target audience, consisting mostly of girls in their late teens. We took the pictures from their interests and preferences, and it links to how we want to portray teen life within our opening. As common in teen romance dramas, there is an outcast character, who never quite fits in or feels like they belong, and conventionally that character finds their way throughout the duration of the film. This is why we have chosen both happy and sad images for our mood-board to represent our target audiences expectations of the genre. For example, the image of the girl hugging her knees with the word "freak" written across it signifies how out-of-place teenagers can feel, and the struggle to find themselves and fit in. The image of the bird in a cage portrays how they can feel as if there is no escape, and feel trapped. These elements of a teen romance drama make the protagonists more relatable for the target audience. On the other hand, the images like the couple in the centre present the happy ending, and finding love - which is common in teen romance dramas, and of course, the romance element within the relationship as they are in close proximity to one another and appear loving and intimate. There are images of lipstick and nail varnish, relating to the typical teenage girl who would be most likely to be interested in a teen romance drama, as well as a recurring theme of pinks, whites and pastel colours to show the softness and delicacy of femininity, as teen romance dramas are mostly aimed at females. We have also included props like a camera, vinyl and books, to represent the teenage girls who challenge stereotypes, and would find an educated, interesting, developed protagonist more relatable as opposed to a stereotypical teenager.
