What is a trailer?

A trailer is a way of adverting a film that will be viewed in the cinema or released on DVD. Trailers use to be shown at the end of a film but this didn't last long as people left the cinema after watching the film so they never got to see the trailer but the name trailer has stuck and is shown before the film starts making it a more effective way of advertising.

Trailers consist of a series of shots from the film that it is advertising some time extra scenes are shot just for a trailer and are not shown in the film for example black Christmas 2006. Trailers main purposes are to attract people to watch the film so they use the most exciting funny or important parts of the film without giving to much away or spoiling the film. To help avoid this scene’s in trailers may not appear in the order they would in the film.
