Not sure if this has been covered yet, I looked on the forum but didn't a thread on it so...
Having recently seen a few comments on movie marketing, particularly for John Carter having poor marketing, I thought about what is best for film trailers.
Is it really best to have adverts that show absolutely every decent part of the movie within a 30 second slot, or, have an advert like John Carter has, that shows a few bits and pieces, a couple of laughs, a look at the scenery and a quick action shot?
I think it's funny when some films go for shorter, cheaper marketing (for instance John Carter) and get hammered by critics and fans for not showing the entire film in one advert.
Personally, I prefer the mystery of having the shorter trailer (aka: Teaser Trailers). It makes the audience want to see the film.
What are thou thoughts??
