MOVIE TRAILERS

Whenever you go to a movie at the theater, they never seem to start on-time.  Let's say you go to a movie that supposedly starts at 6:15pm.  Does the movie start playing right at 6:15pm?  NO!  In fact, they usually play 12-20 minutes worth of Previews for upcoming movie releases.  These previews are called "Trailers".  

The purpose of a Movie Trailer is to get the potential audience hooked, and build up the hype for a movie release.  Some trailers are 30 seconds, others 2-3 minutes.  It varies.

Let's take a look at a few examples:

ALL of the movie trailers shown above needed many people to be successful.  Actors, Directors, Marketing Specialists, Budget/Finances, Production Specialists, Video Editors, Voice Actors, etc.  Just think of all the money and time that goes into a movie...and this is just the trailer....WOW!
