As a filmmaker, your main goal is to tell captivating and entertaining stories and get compensated for your work. But before you can do any of that, you need to find the target audience for your film. Easier said than done, as many filmmakers believe that everyone is their audience. But this is not the case.
While no one enjoys every genre, we know that many people are fascinated only by certain types of film. For example, an action film may appeal to a different kind of audience than a romantic comedy. So the first thing you need to do is find out what kind of film you are making. 
Who’s Your Target Audience?
Once you have knowledge of your type, it is time to start doing research. This starts with looking at films like yours and analyzing the target audience.
How old are they?
Where do they live?
What are their interests?
Is there a primary gender?
What is their level of education?
If you get caught, you can always research the local newsstand of magazines that also cater to your audience. Any magazines that are still being published in the digital world are there because people are very interested in the subject.
Once you have taken a few magazines, go to the publication for demographic information. As magazines make money through subscribers and advertisers, they will have this information. This information will allow you to create audience profiles to be able to target your audience.
Why Should Someone Watch Your Movie?
Date Night: While defining your target audience for your film is not the most exciting part of the filmmaking process, for many people, watching a movie is a place where couples have their first date, hold hands, or even share their first kiss.

Increases Awareness And Social Skills: When you watch a movie, which has some depiction of sociality, politics, economics, psychology, racism, or ethnicity, you can learn so many different things and can experience an increased awareness that you perhaps never thought about.
