Stages of a trailer

A trailer is usually broken down into 3 stages. These 3 stages are what makes a trailer successful and catch the audiences attention. The first stage sets up the story for the audience, giving the audience a part understanding. The second stage drives the story further and usually ends with a climax. The final stage is usually a visual montage of powerful and emotional moments from the film. This stage also features a strong/recognisable piece of music and will often show some key actors and actresses. Through any of these stages a voice over can be included to give a brief, necessary explanation as to what is happening.
