    Dude I've been preaching this FOR YEARS! We get to the movie 20 minutes late on purpose nowadays and usually still have another 10 minutes to wait outside until trailers are over. Ever since Star Trek: Into Darkness ages ago which literally spoiled the ending in the teaser, trailer, and POSTER, just can't do it anymore.

      When me and my brother went to see one of the new Star Wars movies, there were NO trailers or adverts! It’s not like it was some kind of special or unique showing either. NOTHING suggested there would be no adverts. So when the film started, there were loads of people who missed the first 20-30 minutes. As hilarious as this was at the time, it now means I can’t trust cinemas anymore when trying to avoid trailers

    You said it! My partner loves to read ALL the reviews before we see something and only wants to see it if it's been rated well and has a known cast. But I've always thought that reading those things before would warp my opinion. I like going into it not knowing what to expect and then deciding what I think before reading about what others thought. Otherwise, the experience just isn't as good. And trailers can definitely be like that too.

    One of the biggest misunderstandings people make is that marketing people are creative. I've worked with a lot of marketing people and they are the dullest unimaginative people you'll ever meet (although most will describe themselves as highly creative and love to drink a bit too much). They love reviewing trends and handing off the creative work, but then have the final say, messing up the whole process.

    A sentiment not a lot of people truly understand, they fail to understand that trailers aren't released nowadays to introduce or inform about a film or series but garner hype for them
    Hence we get like multiple set of teasers which are followed by a couple of trailers, they aren't interested to show tid bits of information but some of the core facets of their story which in turns decreases the effectiveness of the actual film or series
    Mystery, Thriller and Horror genres suffer the most from it, as the promotional pieces sometimes shows the deaths or jumpscares from them, a decision that will continue to baffle me
    So many films are ruined or suffer from if the person watching has seen the trailer, the entire surprise element that those genre rely on are revealed way before they are meant to be made apparent

      Yeah I didn’t even mention the successive schedule of trailers after release. Because of the short box office window, big movies now get AT LEAST 4 more trailers after the initial release that show the most exciting/funny/gory scenes in a last ditch attempt to draw crowds before it goes to Disney+ or whatever.
      Also, it’s probably unfair that I didn’t mention piracy because that’s another massive thing marketers have to deal with. But…a 10 trailer marketing schedule is just not it, and would be so depressing to me if I was the director of said movie.

    bro. thank you!!
    since about 2015/2016 i've tried to limit myself to only viewing the 1st or teaser trailer for movies I KNOW i'm already going to go see. you may not be, but my ass IS that crazy person who will either step outside the audit or put my earphones on to avoid them. i just think it's super important to go into a movie and see every thing for the first time.
    but i feel as if, for some strange reason, a lot of people want to know literally everything about a movie before going to see it. it's mind boggling. and what's even worse; mfs are actually complaining about trailers not spoiling everything. on some, "bro, i watched the trailer three times and i still don't know what the plot is."
    i'm like "THAT'S GOOD YO! why don't you watch the movie and find out?"

    One of the best trailers I've ever seen was about 20 seconds long that just flashed big impact moments from the movie on screen for half a second and then the title of the movie.

    I focused strongly on the last part, with people saying there aren't any good movies anymore. This is only like 25% true, the overall amount of great movies has decreased, but there are still wonderful gems coming out, and the amount of truly fresh movies is - to me - very satisfying.
    I say that largely because while I am a movie nerd, I am way more a music nerd. And the music scene right now is disastrous, with the feeling of freshness the biggest casualty. No matter how dig you deep, everything sounds like something you have heard before. There is no one trying, everyone just copies or "gets inspired by".
    This isn't the case with movies. Nope, EEAAO, Barbarian, Pig, even blockbusters like Barbie and GotG Vol 3 - all feel fresh. Even if inspired by other filmmakers, or rooted in a genre, they still feel like something new. Can't say about a single song from the last 5-10 years.

    I agree with pretty much all of this, I mean I don't think I'd have enjoyed Aftersun as much if I'd seen a trailer for it and knew where it was gonna go.
    However... Just to offer a slightly different perspective, I sometimes have trouble starting movies. The idea of committing two hours to something I might not like kinda puts me off in a way and it's tough to hit that play button. But I find if I watch a trailer for something first, 99% of the time just seeing clips from the film in that context gets me interested enough to happily click through and watch it.

    Good video.
    I suggest that if you have to check out a trailer, either watch a teaser, or watch the first few seconds of the FIRST trailer, maybe the first 30 seconds or minute.
    BUT if the music or song being used changes, then it probably means that the trailer will start showing heavier spoilers or parts from the second half of the film that you probably don't want to watch before going to the cinema. This is particularly true in romantic comedies.

    I am still a sucker for previews- love that taste of excitement and anticipation. I am going to say that I do think there’s a better chance for it to be a good movie with a preview that doesn’t give it all away - part of the movie package is advertising and previews and if they’re subpar it may reflect the quality of the film.
    I won’t watch UA-cam reviews if I’m excited to see a movie. Don’t want to see the little special drops, hear how the music was scored, cameos, or who was supposed to play that part. I will watch all of this for a movie I’m not excited about and sometimes all of it will make me interested to watch.

    You're right but I've seen some phenomena trailers recently, where they don't spoil too much. Mainstream blockbusters and superheroes are never good measures for good trailers. Also, e,g, Mission Impossible trailer is technically a 'supercut' but not spoiling the plot at all. Also some trailers are so good the movie disappoints, like Tenet. Then again its pretty reliable that any prestige film or indie films gets good trailers that don't supercut the whole film, and any blockbuster trailer usually spoils. Because how else are you gonna attract people in the modern-day of internet and mobile phones and social media? They're desperate to shake the keys in front of your eyes to attract any attention whatsoever.
    Lets be honest here, besides the iconic films, how good were old trailers really? Most of them were just the voiceover narration and text anyways, with some dialogue snippets. So yeah modern day movie trailers spoil (mostly cuz studios are desperate and they need to advertise on every single front to keep people engaged enough in the modern world of distraction), but thats cuz back in the day trailers had a very narrow window of advertisement on cable-tv to run.

That’s gonna ruin you, lemme tell you! But that’s still a chance I’m willing to take.

    I only watch the teaser announcement trailers. I don’t need to watch more if I’m going to watch a movie. If I don’t plan on watching the moving idc I’ll watch the trailers and spoil it.

    I cover my ears and shut my eyes and go 'la la la' for trailers. When I saw The Crying Game I hadn't even seen the movie poster. I thought, as that movie started, it might be like Kiss of the Spider Woman and stay in the opening imprisoned in the greenhouse sequence for the whole movie. I think I got so much more out of that experience than if I'd known any details at all about the movie. No trailers for me ever since. That's 30 years. Call me a psycho. I don't care.

    The trailer before the trailer is because of UA-cam. Preroll ads are skippable after 5 seconds, so the trailer needs to grab the viewers' attention in that 5 seconds. It's actually pretty clever, but also, yes, really annoying

    • @SceneItReviews
      @SceneItReviews  Рік тому

      Just looked into this! haha. I still don't get why they can't cut two separate versions of the trailer though, and upload a separate version for preroll ads - but then again, I don't understand how they integrate preroll ads from already uploaded videos. Maybe it makes more sense to have the preroll ads connected to the 'Master' trailer, because this'll push the overall viewing time, retention, and therefore boost that standalone trailer in the algorithm for other preroll.
      I almost lost my mind when one came on in the cinema the other day haha

    Buddy, I hate to break it to you, but most people don't watch movies for the plot. Most people watch movies to see the actors they either want to sleep with or emulate. Men think they will become more manly by copying the Mark Wahlbergs and Dwayne Johnsons, and women think they will become more sassy and beautiful by copying the Jennifer Lawrences. Most people can't tell you what happened in a movie they just watched, but they can say which actors they liked. That's why so many movies make no sense, reveal all of the interesting points in the trailer, and still make a lot of money. It's good for you that you've found a way to enjoy movies more, but the average person operates on an entirely different spectrum.

    I respectfully disagree.
    I personally think that trailers are vital to a person's engagement with something, but it's more a matter of how that's cultivated that makes a big difference. It's an art in its own form, and like many ways of making art, there are right ways and wrong ways to go about it that either end up looking great, terrible, or average. While I enjoy going into something blind occasionally, I don't think it's fair to ignore every trailer that comes out. Sure, some of them can and have spoiled too much, but I honestly don't see too many trailers that do spoil everything. I've seen a few (Terminator: Genesys, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Fast and Furious 9, etc.), but these are rare, despite how imposing they may feel, given the massive scale of these successful franchises. But I don't think it contributes to some decline in the state of film or that it's killing cinema or something. IMO it's an overexaggerated and generalizing claim that feels ignorant of the MANY trailers that don't do what these few trailers have done. But that's just me, personally.
    I can understand how your experience making trailers made you feel this way about them, but their bizarre process isn't indicative of the entire industry of making trailers. I work in that industry, and never once was I asked to turn a drama into a comedy or vice versa or to make three trailers of the same thing, each under a different genre. When I'm asked to make a trailer by a studio, Im given a brief rundown of what to include and exclude in the trailer, but how the trailer is cut is done by my own merit and execution. Afterward, they give me notes on what they liked, what they didn't like, and what they want me to tweak to make it better, and after a couple of back and forths, it gets locked down and made ready for release. I understand that I'm speaking purely from my own experiences, and I can't assume the methods of making the trailer I've undergone are the same for every studio. Still, I can assure you the way you were asked to do things was just flat-out wrong on their part, and it's not indicative of the entire industry.
    Several trailers of big/small films may look like they're showing too much, but they're either not, or the story isn't 100% laid out on the table for everyone to know how it all unfolds. Take, for example, the recent trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Compared to the initial teaser, more footage is shown to generate hype, BUT I still don't know what it's about: only that it's the last film with these characters, and it's gonna be sad. I know next to NOTHING about who the villains are in their nature, personality, objectives, etc., or what the story will be, how the arcs of these characters will unfold, etc. It does what a good trailer should do and what many trailers already do: It shows enough, more than the teaser showed but still enough, and does it in a way that generates interest and excitement in people, while STILL leaving things open to interpretation until people watch the film or show to get the full context of what's happening. There are many trailers like that today, both for big and small things.
    Take it or leave it, idc. I just wanted to speak my mind :)

      Hey, cheers for the extensive comment :)
      Makes me happy that my experience isn’t a universal standard!
      And agreed that there are still good trailers being made.
      I suppose my rant at ‘trailers’ is more an indictment of every paratext and the chaotic thumbs up/thumbs down online culture most of my friends flock to BEFOFE watching a movie.
      Purely speaking from my experience, and seeing people flat out refuse to watch a genuinely good movie “because they read one review that said it was boring”, I strongly believe knowing less enhances my movie viewing experience.
      But i’m not going to tell people that enjoy trailers that they’re wrong - I also know a bunch of people who enjoy the community that stems from ‘trailer reactions’ etc. Theres pros and cons for sure!

      @@SceneItReviews thanks for responding! I have absolutely nothing against people going into a movie blind. I've done it a few times and it IS rewarding in the long run, so I agree with that lol I also don't mean to discourage those who prefer going into a movie like this. At the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference. If we were to only look at people's feedback about a trailer or a movie or something online, it can be made evident of a large decline of engagement with film and it could be telling of the state of film as a whole, but that's just how things are online and obviously the world is so much bigger than that lol but I do understand your point overall. I just don't feel the same way, but thanks for engaging with my comment in a civil manner :)
