We comprehend the laws of motion picture art: what is a trailer?

Today, more and more often you can see an invitation to watch a trailer on the network. But so far not every one of us knows what a trailer is. Meanwhile, we meet with them quite often.

A short digression into the history

It's time to deal with this mysterious phenomenon and give it a clear definition.

Some time ago the word "trailer" was used only in construction and meant temporary housing - a kind of barracks on wheels. Today it has acquired a new meaning and is used most often in cinematography. Although its scope can not be limited only to the film industry, it is found both in videography and in computer games. But it's time to open the veil of secrecy and tell what a trailer is. After all, this English name is found today quite often.

What is a trailer?

This is a kind of small video, which consists of several frames. It is used for announcements. After all, each of us, hearing about the film's premiere premiere, is eager to know what he is talking about. For such purposes, trailers are created. They spread on the Internet, twist on video screens in a cafe. As practice shows, these short films fulfill their task with brilliance. Spectators are interested and decide to spend time and money on the upcoming novelty.

The most common thing here is that for the trailer, as a rule, the most spectacular and spectacular scenes are used. Often they are built on the principle of a kaleidoscope. That is, the action in such frames may not be connected at all. Sometimes even the chronological order is disrupted. A person who looks at the trailer, tries to put together in his imagination a whole picture, he lacks many cause-effect relationships, facts. Have you guessed what the result will be? Well, of course, he will definitely go to the premiere to dot the i's.

Features of creating trailers

In the modern film industry, movie trailers become almost an independent work of art, a separate kind of art. On the Internet on some sites even began to count down to their premiere. It does not cause any surprise, because in order to create a quality trailer, you need to have certain skills and skills. It is necessary to choose the most spectacular scenes, make the right video series, pick up the appropriate music. But few of us, ordinary spectators, guess that trailers are created not by the directors of their films, but by companies that have nothing to do with the future novelty.

Structure of trailers

To make a quality video, it is not enough to know what a trailer is, it is important to understand the structure by which this kaleidoscope of frames from the future film is created.

There are several parts to distinguish:

• Tie, in other words - the introduction.
• Then follows the part that briefly explains the plot, without revealing the background of the events.
• The third part is a game of emotions and a connection to the climax.
• The final is the action part. It should be the brightest, so that the viewer has a persistent desire to see the film.

As the creators of the trailers themselves say, much in their business depends on the music. It is written by special collectives, but it is not uncommon for the videos to be taken by tracks of popular performers at the moment.

To make a successful trailer, the genre of the movie must be taken into account necessarily. The most difficult thing is to make video adverts to comedies. The simplest genres are action games and dramas. Medium in complexity - thrillers and thrillers.

As you can see, trailers are not only a movie advertising, it is also a help to the viewer. After all, even from a kaleidoscope of disparate frames, we can conclude that the actors play and the quality of the shooting.
