Film Trailers That Increases the Curiosity about the Movie

But the trailers created a major hype among the audience and the film became a blockbuster. Hitchcock's Psycho used this same technique in the year 1960. The trailer of the film featured that the famous director was offering a guided tour of Bates Motel and in the end arriving at the infamous shower.

Sometimes the people who are behind the making of the trailers start their work along make the trailers start on with their work while the film is still in its making process. This happens because the trailer editor can work right from the unedited version of the film. The editor can use any particular shot or footage that may or may not be used in the final version of the film or movie. Not only shots, sometimes the editor uses music also which is not necessarily used in the original soundtrack of the movie.
