Teen Movie types

I chose my three different trailers based on their respective demographics. When someone says teen films, I assume rom-coms, although it has a much wider range, and inside teen films their can be numerous genres like comedy, sic-fi, and fantasy.
I chose Scott Pilgrim because it has a mainly male demographic, but also still attracts females. The audience typing is based on the video game nature of the film and light comedy, I think it attracts the underdogs more than the class bully, but the underdogs became cool about last year.

The second film is a stereotypical chick flick, with a female protagonist. The enemies in these films are generally another student, and it has a romance and comical side too it. The also mostly have internal monologues, which would be helpful to add to the short film.

Harry Potter is strange in the sense that throughout the 8 films, the mood and themes strongly change. Because it is meant to age with the characters, the 8th film is significantly more serious than the 1st, and it has a very gender neutral fan base.
