This document discusses the target audience for a police fiction film. The target audience would be ages 12 and up to 40 years old, as the film aims to show the comedic relationship between two police officers. A stereotypical audience for this genre enjoys police films and shows like Hawaii Five-0 and NCIS: LA that feature comedic banter between partners. While younger audiences may relate most to similar films, older audiences could also enjoy it. Social media will be key to promote the film since younger audiences are its main users and will spread word of the film online.
