A film trailer is known as an advertisement or commercial for a film which is launched weeks or months before the film is released to the general public for viewing. It's sole purpose is to inform the audience about what they should expect to see in the film and to make them curious about the film. However, some trailers include extra special effects, which will not be apparent in the film, in order to excite the potential audience more.
Many modern trailers are now released before the filming of the actual movie is even finished. This is very helpful to the editors of the film as they will be able to tell from responses to the trailer, what is and isn't appropriate to include when the whole film is released.
Trailers are considered to be an insight to the film and a way for a production company to inject their film into the public eye. So much so, there are specific agencies which specialise in creating trailers for new movies, these are called 'trailer houses'. From this we can see the vast importance of releasing a well cut and chosen trailer of your film, due to its ability to prevent further conflict, exhilarate the audience and catch their target audiences eye.

Film Trailer Ideas
Millie and I came up with three final ideas for our film trailer. We chose a range of genres in order to see all the different conventions we could explore before deciding on our favourite one.
1. Chick Flick
This trailer would feature a typical blonde female protagonist and a typical tall, dark haired male protagonist. At the beginning of the trailer we can see the female protagonist is totally in love with her boyfriend, who breaks up with her out of the blue. She was so in love with him she now has nothing left and doesn't know her true self. The film then follows her learning about herself and how to make new relationships.
2. Horror
This trailer would be filmed entirely by using a camcorder. A group of friends go camping for a night to celebrate the life of their recently passed friend. The friend had been kidnapped and announced dead, but in fact she wasn't. She
finds the group of friends in the woods after she manages to escape and kills them all as revenge for not searching for her.
3. Social Realist Drama
The two protagonists in this trailer are both gay. The main protagonist feels left out and awkward at school as her close group of friends don't know that she is gay. She then meets the second female protagonist and things get a bit rocky before they start to become better for her.
