Movie Trailers can be classified into two types basically. It doesn't imply teasers and theatrical trailers; I am talking about the trailers that show a little and are small and the other which are longer and more descriptive. Those trailers which are shorter tease us a lot but are much more exciting, as it will increase the eagerness to watch all the scenes that film has to offer, I won't really enjoy the whole film condensed into two minutes. Right now a lot too much is offered in a blockbuster movie trailers, each one trying to envy superiority on with their elaborate sci-fi effects, impacting dialogues and heroic stunts, but no sign of suspense or mystery?
A few decades before, movie trailers were much more shorter, offering only the shortest glimpses of eye candy in order to create excitement so that people are eagerly waiting for the release of the movie so that they could watch the whole movie and relieve the excitement they had while watching the trailers. This was working beneficiary for the movie as the theatres were already booked before the release, with audiences feeling much more satisfied by the films they were seeing instead of already having seen much of the film already in the previews.
One that really is fresh in my mind for giving away everything was the theatrical trailer for Aliens Vs Predator: Requiem. That trailer contained pretty much every effects shot bar the climax, leaving the film feeling like little more than a padded trailer. Though the film was terrible, the trailer was so elaborative that any one could have enjoyed the film by watching just its trailer and hence could have saved time as well as money.
Today the trailers of the movie have been replaced by miniature versions of the movie and this has been helping for the decaying of attention among the movie lovers. Instead of enjoying the movie people are waiting for the scenes shown in the film trailer and star joining the dots and pick out where each shot from the trailer fills in the film. What happened to mystery? If you are spending a lot on special effects, don't you wish people to come and watch the film instead of just watching the trailer on television or from the net for couple of times?
Tease the minds of audience. People are always eager to know. So make your trailer in such a way that people are full of mysteries about the movie at the time of its release. I can't stress that enough. Tease them, make them want more. Give them a smell of what you are cooking instead of complete taste, and they'll be more likely to eat the full meal once it is prepared. Okay, enough analogies. Go and cut a trailer that won't cheapen your movies.
To be fair with the public as well he advertising is concern, show off some of the uniqueness in the trailers, but it doesn't mean everything that is unique. Create suspense in the minds of people. Today most of the films futures are dependant on just trailers. People just give their review even without watching the movie and sometimes before the movie's release by mere watching the movie trailer. Release the trailer as lengthy teasers such that it creates a mystery in minds of the audience instead of packing everything into one short space. Make your potential audience watch out your film to see what the hell is going on- don't blow it all at once. Check out some yesteryear trailers for inspiration as well as guidance. Make your potential audience seek out your film to see what the hell is going on- don't blow it all at once.
