Film trailers are short advertisements for upcoming movies, shown on websites like YouTube, television, and in theaters, that use clips and footage from the actual film to promote it and attract attention from the intended target audience, usually releasing 5-7 months before a movie's premiere. Trailers highlight entertaining and attractive segments of a film to tease viewers and allow them to identify the genre. They are designed specifically for different target audiences, using visuals and music that will appeal most to groups like children, thrill-seekers, or female viewers.
