History of Film Trailers

     ABIGAIL VAICIUKAS
1910’s - 1950

 1913 – The first film trailer (for the musical ‘The Pleasure
  Seekers’) was shown in a US theatre in November of 1913
 1914 – A trailer for the first motion picture was produced by
  Nils Granlund. It featured Charlie Chaplin
 1919 – The National Screen Service was founded, providing a
  service to companies creating trailers. NSS dominated trailer
  making until the 1950’s. Most films created by the NSS were
  comprised of various scenes from the film along with large
  text and often a voice-over narration
 1950 – The domination of the NSS began to slow this year
  due to directors changing the way trailers were put together
1960’s – Present

 1960 – The face of motion pictures changed in the early 1960’s; text-less,
    montage trailers with fast-paced editing became popular. This is due to the
    arrival of ‘new Hollywood’ and popular techniques used in television.
    Stanley Kubrick was among one of the trend setters
   1964 – Andrew Kuehn distributed his independently produced trailer for
    ‘Night of the Iguana’, using high-contrast photography, fast-paced editing
    and a provocative narration. The format proved to be very successful
   1968 – Due to his success, Kuehn teamed up with partner Dan Davis and
    opened the office of Kaleidoscope Films. For the next three decades, this
    company was the most popular amongst directors (including Stephen
    Spielberg) for producing trailers
   1980 – Music began to be introduced to film trailers, improving their
    quality, along with elements of suspense. Trailers also became more about
    building anticipation for the film promoted than revealing too much about
    the storyline
   2000 – present – Today, film trailers use the same elements that evolved
    in the past, using music, text and/or voice over to engage the audience and
    create interest towards a film
