Trailers
This has spawned from the Spiderman 2 thread.
What is the difference between a trailer and a preview? I always thought that they were all trailers, and that the only difference was that there were more than one version. Please explain the difference in all of them to me. |
A trailer is an "official preview" that's created by specialists who are simply trying to make the movie look its best. I imagine that a regular preview or TV spot is simply a few of the movie's moments crammed together to show some scenes for a short TV clip. That's my guess, anyway!

Here's a good example of the two:
http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id...410&cf=trailer As Lasereth said trailers are like montages or collages (?) of the entire movie done for hype, and previews are more like snippets of the movie taken from a particular scene. Previews are linear, trailers jump around in the film. |
I've also heard they sometimes play music or show footage that is different in the trailer than what makes it into the movie.

That's because when they cut the trailer before the movie's actually been through the final edit. Trailer's may come out months before a movie's released, but they could still be editing it right up until it's released.

don't forget teasers. these little buggers are the ones that let you know a movie's coming out, designed to start the hype but the movie's not even remotely close to post-production.
examples are the new ocean's 11 sequel, the godzilla one where all you saw was a fisherman, and plenty otheres. i hate teasers. "coming... christmas 2006" seriously, wtf |
Previews = Trailers, in the old days they were called trailers because they came after the movie from what I understand.
A teaser is a trailer but it's like 30 sec and not the usual 1.5- 2.5 minutes in length. Independance day had a bunch of teasers before a trailer was ever released. |
