Over the past couple of years film trailers and the way in which we produce them has changed tremendously. A good example of how much we have changed over the past years is looking at particularly old trailer 'Psycho' Alfred Hitchcock well known film from the 1960's.
The trailer we see in this video is far different to what we can expect to see from a trailer. These are the years in which trailers were first being introduced and styles like these were being experimented with. In the video Alfred, the director, takes us on a tour of the movie's main settings. The aim was to interest the audience though pointing out key objects in the film. It also served as a way for fans of Alfred Hitchcock's films to get a sneak preview. Although in my opinion the trailer doesn't catch my attention in comparison to modern day trailers which are made to be memorable. It is extremely slow paced and long lasting while modern trailers are full of edits, sound effects and action. Finally it is notable that Hitchcock tells the story in more detail than you would usually get from a trailer today and also mentions where characters are killed, giving away spoilers in my eyes.
