The 150-Second Sell, Take 34... pdf
Have you ever gone to see a movie because of the trailer? Trailers are designed specifically to entice viewers to do so in a time limit of less than 2 ½ minutes. They feature the most noteworthy, funny, exciting parts of the feature length film. Most trailers do 3 things: (1) they introduce the characters; (2) the setting; and (3) they build the conflict. These three things work together to hook the audience.
