movie trailer

Coming attractions clip

A movie trailer is a short promotional video advertising an upcoming film, typically showing selected scenes, dialogue, and music designed to generate interest.

Trailers play before features in theaters and circulate online.

The name comes from their original position trailing the main film, though they now precede it.
