Dear Trailer Makers,
Do bear in mind that this comes from a movie and television buff that has grown up worshiping your franchise.
Google defines “trailers” as a series of extracts from a film or broadcast, used for advancing publicity.
We all know that the inception of a blockbuster lies in an engrossing trailer. If we glance at trailers from yesteryear films, they gripped us to the end, scratching our brains to crack the enigmatic code the movie withheld. Thanks to advancements in the media, these short extracts can be made more exciting than ever.
The sole purpose of this letter is to highlight the lack of creativity; and predictability that your trailers possess. They don’t give us the much needed adrenaline fillip now. Such is the sorry situation that even an amateur at storytelling can decipher the plot of the movie in seconds. Wit and directorial craft have taken a backseat. Something is wrong, isn’t it?
Another major problem with your trailers is a veritable fiasco of dialogues, which are as cliche and comical as a children’s book. Do try to at least showcase the finesse of the writers.
The audience waits eagerly for a particular movie to hit the theaters. A cinematic treat awaits us at the movies but courtesy of your trailer, YouTube suffices for some.
This is neither a hate-letter nor a bouquet of rage; these are just suggestions to set up a better stage!
With all due respect, kindly preview the trailer before pressing the upload button and see if your piece of art does justice to the movie.
Regards
A movie buff.
A movie buff.
