A hault in filming

-
Hi there! Today is Sunday March 15th,and I must admit that I am quite upset. A new worldwide pandemic, known as the COVID-19 (Corona Virus), has been affecting people from all across the globe. The virus started off in China, made its way to the United States, and now there are thousands of cases in the States. As a result, my school district has decided to shut down school for a week, and the week after is spring break. This affects my filming process because my first couple of scenes were of students walking up and down the hallways at school. Now, I will have to change the beginning of my film intro, and edit my story board.

The teen comedy, coming of age genre has shown to come a long way with the recent release of the movie, "Booksmart", in 2019. This movie features two female protagonists who were the academic overachievers all throughout high school, but on their graduation night, they looked for scandalous activities and parties to partake in after realizing that they missed a lot of special moments in their adolescent years.

Target Audience

-
Many people have been asking me, "What is the point of your film? Who is your target audience?". My film is specifically targeted towards people in the same age group as me, teens and young adults. However, people of any age group can view it as well. Although this film is being made for the enjoyment of anyone who watches, I believe that people that are between the ages of 12-20 years of age, will relate with it better, which means that it will be more appealing to them.
