This was chosen as my final idea because a female audience would be attracted to the story line that features an emotional relationship between the characters. Also the comedy element of this character being clumsy and not hiding herself very well in front of others creates compassion for her because we don’t want her to get noticed. The troubles of relationships are typical of romcom’s because the female protagonists struggle to find love. Also in romcom’s the female usually struggles to find love because of an obstacle that is stopping her. In this final treatment the bully is stopping Ann from fulfilling her dreams. Also this idea has an interesting twist that will ensure the target audience will be attracted to. The idea of featuring a serious topic such as bullying will create sympathy for the character meaning the target audience want to discover how this problem is dealt with. Also this idea features the code and convention of having the male protagonist as attractive and the one all the females want to be with. This will intrigue the target audience by featuring an attracting character that will appeal to females more. This idea also follow the codes and conventions of a light hearted, love inspired plot where the male and female protagonists are at this stage where they are so caught up with each and they are on each others minds. This will attract the target audience because females will adore this sweet romance that the characters have. The target audience of females will be emotionally connected to the story line that they may have been in the characters position before.
