How to Create a Trailer For Your Independent Film

The following independent film trailer embodies many of the characteristics of a major Hollywood feature. Like it or not audiences perceive value based on the standards that the large studios have set. For example, you will want third party validation and quotes, a green card from the MPAA stating that that your video is an approved theatrical trailer. If you don’t get MPAA rating, then you should consider using a card that looks similar to its format. Another interesting idea is keeping your trailer to the MPAA timing guidlines (under 2 minute 30 seconds). During these few short minutes you should also change your music 3-5 times to help progress and change the mood of the trailer.
