An attractive trailer is the most effective tool to attract audiences, so it is necessary to have a connection between the trailer and the audience and make them want to go to the theater to buy movie tickets right away. You need to focus on picking the best content that is most engaging, be it a mysterious dialogue between characters, a moment of stellar acting, or simply a stunning visual setting.

Each movie will always have a different compelling trailer, so it’s important to determine: what will make the movie stand out and highlight those things as much as possible in the trailer. Cutting a movie of about 90 minutes into a trailer that is only about 2 minutes long is not easy, but it is not as difficult as you think. Trailers can engage audiences as they can visually and emotionally connect with viewers and make them want to watch your movie.

The rhythm

The trailer also needs to have an introduction of the characters, a setting, and an illustration of the obstacles that the characters go through. In order to create excitement for the trailer, it is necessary to focus mainly on the rhythm of the action sequences, the events, and the message of the trailer.

The best starting point for a compelling trailer is to have a three-act structure. Act.1 introduces the characters and setting. Act.2 is devoted to illustrating the complexities and obstacles the characters experience in their world. And Act.3 depicts the seriousness, the climax, etc.

Things to keep in mind when cutting the attractive trailer: avoid letting the editor of the whole movie concurrently edit the trailer as well.

Music for the Cinematic Trailer

Choosing the right music for the trailer is also one of the most important factors because it contributes to the audience’s experience and first impression of the trailer as well as the movie. Choosing the wrong music will both contradict the real nature of the movie and can also make the audience feel uninterested in watching the whole movie.
