A film trailer is a short video used to market upcoming feature films. It typically includes clips and scenes from the film to generate interest and highlight the genre. Film trailers have become popular online, so companies create many trailers in hopes of achieving viral success. The first film trailer was created in 1914 to promote Charlie Chaplin's film "The Tramp". Film companies then hired the National Screen Service to produce trailers until the 1980s when that company ended. Andrew Kuehn revolutionized film trailers in the 1960s by developing a faster pace and sense of urgency to draw larger audiences.
