Narrative:
There is a romantic mise-en-scene created here through the intimate body language and the themes commonly associated and connoted by a sunset. The low key lighting helps to accentuate the romantic mood between the two characters.
Genre:
Due to the romantic mise-en-scene created and character costumes that belong to a previous era, one can assume that the genre of this still is a romantic historical fiction.
Audience:
The fact that this shot is an open frame MS, demonstrates how both characters are in a peaceful setting and we can see clearly that even their expressions seem to be joyful and at peace; thus symbolising to the audience that the characters seem to be at the peak of their relationship where they feel comfortable and happy in each others presence. This is further emphasized by their body language illustrating complete freedom because the wind is blowing (this can be seen from the odd displacement of their hair) and the girls arms are spread wide. The fact the characters aren't looking or positioned directly at the camera reveal to us that they're in their own little world wrapped up in the thoughts of each other and also emphasizing the theme of freedom. This would appeal to any audience because from many gratification theories it is clear freedom is a fantasy for everyone.
