I love the movie trailer as a medium, and find it fascinating - I'd just about be willing to go to the movies to see the trailers, and then leave (though YouTube makes that less palatable than pre-YT).

Favourite fact about trailers: they typically have 90-120 seconds, & yet people will often remember dozens of facts from them. Compare that to a typical speech or lecture, which may be an hour long, yet people often remember nothing from.

The people who make trailers are mindbogglingly good at making information sticky.

Also, curious fact: the quality of the trailer is correlated with the quality of the movie, but to some extent independent. Fr'instance I enjoyed "Man of Steel", but nowhere near as much as I enjoyed the trailer.

Another trailer I love: the trailer for Brave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnGNe3SB9Fk … The movie was only so-so.

The last 1 second of that trailer is an absolute masterpiece. If there were Oscars for 1-second shots, it would have deservedly won.

An aesthetic I like is when the use of music is deliberately restricted, and many Chris Nolan associated trailers do that well.

Agree, I love trailers too. My favorite trailer ever is Watchmen’s. Every frame is graphically stunning https://youtu.be/NUjMO_k9IF8

Wow, that's terrific. I saw that trailer in cinemas, but hadn't realized until you pointed it out how good it is.

Yeah there’s everything. And the movie lives up to it too! From time to time I’ll watch again these 10min about Dr Manhattan

Another interesting thing about the movie is that it’s extremely faithful to the comic. The dialogues are often the same down to the words, and there are several frames that you can downright superpose onto the movie. And yet Alan Moore didn’t like it iirc
