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.

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.

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.

The first 90 seconds of the Furious 7 trailer is marvellous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skpu5HaVkOc … I want to meet the genius who thought of that final jump, the car chase as art form.
