What's in a Trailer?
By Miranda Taylor

Whenever movie trailers are mentioned in casual conversation, inevitably, strong opinions swell about them one way or the other. There are those moviegoers who are trailer junkies—the audience members who wouldn’t dream of showing up to a film just as it begins because they consider the previews an intrinsic part of their movie-going experience. Then, of course, there are those viewers who consider the 15 minutes of previews their grace period: a pocket of time after the published movie time that they can count on skipping and still not miss a second of the feature itself. On whatever side of the trailer fence you stand, trailer houses are becoming more and more ubiquitous in the production landscape and trailers more and more important to the overall marketing campaign for a film. In this Q&A with Scott Edwards of up-and-coming trailer house Crew AV—a division of Crew Creative, 411 tried to find out what goes into making a trailer.
