Trailer editor Bill Neil works at Buddha Jones making movie trailers that scare, excite, and, most importantly, get people to want to see a movie.
In this video, he explains the things that a trailer editor notices about trailers old and new, great and terrible, and somewhere in the middle. Starting with trailers from the '60s, he gets all the way to the present while reviewing techniques like sound design, “rug pulls,” and how to hide fake blood.

One of Bill’s proudest KZbin moments came after the trailer for “Mother” was released. Almost immediately, KZbinrs started cutting trailers for other movies in the style of the distinctive (and haunting) “Mother” trailer Bill cut. Watch Bill's original: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqGsdKKZa5qonpI And Zach Prewitt’s Rosemary’s Baby Cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYnIpY2maK-Jmtk Thanks for watching. -Phil

I saw Carrie when it first came out, and they could afford to give away most of the scenes... because that final scene at the grave had the theater screaming. Sure the Towering Inferno was tense.. but,oh boy "CARRIE" is in a class of its own. Chucky couldnt touch it with a steak skewer

i wonder if bill neil knows how much of a frenzy he caused among jordan peele fans when they were theorizing why the "from jordan peele" shot was edited that way and what it had to do with the plot of movie. and it's perfect that he mentioned close encounters of the third kind, because brandon perea (who played angel in the film) said he used it as a reference to prepare for his role, as a suggestion by jordan peele himself -- though of course now having seen nope in its entirety, it all makes so much sense.

Allow me to express how much I despise "bumpers". I think of a trailer as a bit of a mini movie without giving away the plot (although, trailers often ruin the plot), so when I click on a trailer, the trailer ("mini movie") is ruined when the bumper shows all the exciting scenes before I see them in the trailer. Not at all a fan. Great video, however - I *am* a fan of this video. :)

One of the most effective trailers was for the Hunger Games. Due to censorship they were unable to show any violence between children, so they had to end it at the midpoint without showing any of the actual games. The cliffhanger vibes are unmatched. It makes you want to see the games themselves 10x more

The answer is that no trailer is made by one person. So many people (editors, producers, filmmakers, studios, etc) have their hands in a trailer plus the trailers also get shown to test audiences. So by the time you see a trailer in theaters or online, it's gone through sometimes months and months of working and re-working to get the version that everyone is happy with and that they think will sell the movie best.

They get "Key Art Awards" and "Golden Trailers", and "Clios" for ads, and "Promax" Awards (or whatever they're called now) for TV promos, and then the Emmys give out Emmys for trailers. It's not like a "real" Emmy, but it also is. At one time, the Key Art Awards event was in the same theater where they present the Oscars.

But it's probably more expensive to do these non sequitur trailers that still have to get people noticing, remembering, talking, and watching

Honestly I was just questioning the art of trailer editing because I wondered how creatively distinct it is from the movie. For instance, Chris Nolan has had phenomenal trailers, and no im not just talking inception/interstellar. Dunkirk, is brilliant using the sort of music from the movie effectively. But especially Tenet, that trailer blew me away, it was so captivating, and honestly better than the movie ended up being. Mad Max Fury Road too has a brilliant trailer. And recently The Flash really surprised me with how fresh and well-edited the trailer was, with unique sound-mixing, a good sort of background score thats original and weird and fitting to the subject (ofc there's the Batman theme for a bit too). But for one thing it stood out from the other superhero trailers, and from the 'let's DJ-mix a popular song whose title kinda fits the movie' like Ant-Man Quantummania.

Sometimes I've seen trailers that evoke an incredibly strong feeling in and of themselves. I've gone back and re-watched some of them, like the trailer for "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" for example (the one with the Monsters and Men soundtrack), which is basically an incredibly concentrated, life-affirming short film. Or a trailer for a video game called "Edge of Twilight", where the game is pretty meh, but the cinematic trailer is this incredibly moody, deeply depressing masterpiece of storybook narration.

As a VO guy myself, this may come off as blatantly self-serving, but the total lack of voiceover narration in trailers today is something that I wish would change. I mean, I get it - the art of trailers has evolved to more of a "show me, don't tell me"... which overall, is probably a good thing. But I think there's still room to re-introduce trailer VO in such a way that it would actually make the trailer more impactful. Plus, there's the added benefit that it would definitely stand out from all the trailers that employ those BWAHs and numerous other little audio and visual standbys which have become even more ubiquitous than the old "In a world..." narration used to be.

Studios have a bad habit of setting release dates that then make ridiculously tight schedules. I work in the industry and have a friend that told me there were around 1,100 VFX shots still unfinished a few weeks from Black Adam's release. But if you want to drum up hype for a movie and get it into people's consciousness a year, six months, etc before the release date, there's really no way else but to use dailies or rough cuts. If they waited until the film was finished, they'd just be sitting on a finished film and realistically they're in the business of making money, so they'd rather just release the film. Doesn't always happen though; Godzilla: King of the Monsters was fully finished like three or four months before its release date, but that's extremely rare, and still means the trailers don't come from the finished products.

Nice to know those things at the start of trailers are called "bumpers" but they're still really annoying. I'm already choosing to watch the trailer. It's only like a 2 minute cut of a movie. When I go see a movie I don't need a trailer for it right before to let me know its going to get interesting, and I especially don't need a trailer for the trailer that I'm literally about to watch.

I am just curious how where did they getting sound bites from from old stuff to use them, like he said he did with Texas Massacre? Like houses getting those og bites from studios or somehow recreating/editing them out? Same question with. Same question with deconstructing songg, how do they getting layers of the track?

I think the problem with trailers today, especially action movies. They show you almost everything good in the movie, which takes most the surprise out of the movie and leaves only room for disappointment.
