G321 - How will we attract audiences

Based on the questionnaire we took, it is clear that Bridesmaids is the most popular romantic comedy that people enjoy watching, this is because people said they related to the characters and storyline. This means we will include more characters like the characters in Bridesmaids to be able to connect with the audience. Even though the film is based on women, by having androgynous characters, it allows males to be able to find the characters funny as they may connect with them in some ways.

Another film like ours is There's Something About Mary, because it is about 3 men who are all in love with the same woman. This film attracted audiences by having a mainly male dominated cast making men feel like they could enjoy the romantic comedy genre more. This film was also set in many locations, but a key location in the film is the golf course which is again targeting the male audience. This means we will include more sports related locations to make sure the males don't get bored watching the same girlie locations e.g. a spa or a shopping mall.

Seeing as our film is based around men, more males will want to come and watch our film to see if it compares to any other rom coms that are based arounf men like 'This Means War'.

One of the most popular characters in the rom com American Pie is Stilfer because he is a ladies man but he doesn't fall in love, so we will give one of our male characters those personality traits.
