·      A target audience; our target audience would have to be girls, who are teenagers

·      Subjects; marriage, life is short, and decision-making

Our single drama “stepping into the light”, target audience of our single drama is teenagers but this storyline is mainly aimed at girls as they can relate to it also parents who depend on their children in becoming something high in the environment as well as being a role model and a “Show of Prize” to other parent in the same community.   We think that our audience will want to watch this single drama because they will relate to it; also their parents might think about the difficult situations they could put their children, this drama series was also built to make parents and careers aware of the difficult situations they could put their children in; in the near distant future. This drama will be a good example to those parents that force their children so much they end up losing them or destroying them. This becomes a very hard situation for both the parents and the individual that it is happening upon.
