Critical Reflection
The key audience and social group I intended my film to touch the most were teenage girls. As a fellow teenage girl, there are experiences that are a direct product of the "teenage girl experience," and I wanted to curate my film to primarily represent that group through the key conflict of infidelity. The film I made is called Our Boyfriend to represent the love triangle rooted in infidelity between Laura, Jasmine, and Joseph. The dynamic showcases a girl who is madly in love with her boyfriend, Joseph; their love is a reflection of typical high school "first loves," who are naive to challenges such as infidelity. Laura one day finds out her boyfriend, whom she loved so much, was cheating on her with Jasmine. This circumstance turns Laura cold. She is determined to team up with Jasmine to make sure Joseph is aware of the pain he has brought upon her. Many teenage girls, myself included, have gone through the heart-wrenching "first heartbreak."
