8. So…what makes a film trailer based on
the audience feedback?
 After reviewing my findings that I’ve made, as portrayed
from the “samples” I looked at, I have come to a conclusion
that a film trailer is a commercial that is either used for the
purpose of enticing a particular audience and persuading
them to come and watch the film by adding the best bits of
the film, or alternatively, it reveals certain parts of the
narrative, but not the entire storyline of the film, in other
words, the trailer needs to remain enigmatic, albeit a form of
marketing that gives the audiences an insight into what the
film is all about. I will look more into what makes a
SUCCESSFUL film trailer in my next task.
