Film Trailer:
A film trailer will be shown on television or before the film in a cinema, trailers can be found on the internet on websites such as Youtube. A trailer is usually first advertised before a film in the cinema. Trailers are usually kept under two minutes long in length. Before the official trailer is released a 'Teaser' trailer which lasts for about thirty seconds is released giving the audience an idea of the film. The official trailer is designed to excite, trill and lure the audience to go see the film. Trailers provide the most information about a film because they show the audience clips of the film cutting from one action to another to attract the audience and lure them in. Even though trailers show clips of the film they try not to give to much away because they don't want to reveal the story to the audience before they see the film making the audience want to see the film.
Film Poster:
Film posters are displayed everywhere from inside a cinema to street corners and they provide the audience with a single image of the film. The film posters are used to advertise the film. Posters usually show the main character from within that film. Posters are very attractive and eye-catching and entices the audience to watch the film trailer and then see the film.
Below I have used the official poster from the new film, 'The Dark Knight Rises' were Batman is the main focus of the poster with an explosion in the background shaped like the Batman Symbol which suggests there is going to be action in this film.
Magazines:
Magazines also advertise the film and usually give them a review inside of the magazine and a rating. When magazines advertise a film they are trying to get the film gain more and more popularity. This also gives the reader a chance to read about the film and build upon their knowledge of the film.
