Movie trailers

An OverviewSlide2

What is a movie trailer?

The term “trailer” comes from their having been shown at the end of a film. Why was this strategy ineffective?

Now, these “teasers,” as they are sometimes called, are shown before the feature film begins. Slide3

Persuasive techniques

What techniques are most often used in movie previews to make the viewer want to see the movie?

How do the trailers that precede a feature film compare to the feature film? Why is this an important strategy?Slide4

What makes up a trailer?

Trailers consist of a series of the most exciting, funny, or otherwise noteworthy parts of the film but in very abbreviated form.

A trailer will not produce “spoilers” that give away the plot of a movie. Besides, the purpose of the trailer is to build audience curiosity about the film before they are able to see it.

One method editors use to prevent spoilers in trailers is to present shots from the film in a different order than they actually appear in the film. Slide5

Trailer regulations

A trailer cannot be longer than two and a half minutes, according to theater regulations.

Once a year, a studio or film distributor s allowed to exceed the time limit if they feel it is necessary for a certain film. Slide6
