History and Background of Trailers


A film trailer is one of the most important things when it comes to making films. They are usually shown in the cinema before the film or at the start of a DVD, although they can also be shown during adverts on television or in adverts online. They are used to attract as big an audience as possible and ensure that they go and see the film in the cinema as soon as it comes out.
There are countless examples of these trailers. More and more have been coming out every year. The first to come out was in 1914 for a Charlie Chaplin film, which was created by Nils Granlund. The National Screen Service up until the late 1950’s created all trailers, and the company in itself lasted until the 80’s. Companies nowadays deal with their own film trailers, and it’s rare to have a film without one.
