Film trailers can make or break a new movie release, as they have the potential to either hook or turn off potential viewers. Indeed, creating a captivating movie trailer is an art unto itself. The director of any given film trailer must condense the heart and soul of a two hour-long story into under a minute. The trailer must reveal enough of the story line to get viewers invested in the outcome, but must not reveal any secrets that would negate viewing the actual film itself. Background music, narration and editing all play a part in the creation of film trailers and it takes a skilled craftsman to bring all of these elements together into a beautiful piece of art.
