How to write a trailer article

Postby Netherrealmer » 15 Jan 2023, 08:07

If you want to write about entertainment, one of the most common jobs is to write about are movie trailers. Every day, a lot of trailers came out. There are trailers for movies, TV shows, books, video games, board games, music albums, porn, documentaries, and a lot more. It is a source of income that will never run out; all you need is time. This is the basic rule, and once you get used to it, you'll find your own style, but if you're just starting out, you should follow it. I asked Ian Burton, the author, if I could use an example from one of his articles. I thought him how to write, he should give me permission. :lol:

Image

The one I circled in green is the thumbnail. You can upload the media's poster or a screencap of the trailer's thumbnail from the media you're reporting on. I can tell you one thing about thumbnails: pick the one that looks the best, and put the character in the middle. If the character is not in the middle of the preview, it will look strange. I remember picking a thumbnail where the character is off to the side, which makes the website look bad.


The one I circled in purple is the title, "About the title." It should say the title of the thing you're writing about. It will make it more likely that Google will find you.

The most important information about the item is in the yellow spot. Is it something new, a remake, or something else? Who is the producer and who is the director? What have they done before? If it's a remake or an adaptation, talk about the original story.
Look at this website's home page. In the middle are the faces. If their faces were split, it would be very distracting to look at. So, remember that a thumbnail subject should always be in the middle.

---

The one I spotted in green is the trailer heading. It is a title for the trailer. The one I spotted in gray is the trailer. If you are too lazy to upload pictures, the thumbnail of the trailer will automatically become the thumbnail of the article.


Image

Below the trailer as you see above, you will see the synopses, That is the plot of the movie. It explains the story based from what you see in the trailer. You can also make your theories about the story.

The one I encircled in blue is the closing. This is where you will say the release date, if its going to be for streaming, theater or television.

That is the basic format of what you must include in a trailer article. Eventually you will develop your own style.

I forgot to mention are the tags, they are the possible keyword prediction your reading will type to find your article in google. The more tags you use related to the article the higher chance you get visible to search engines.

@Netherrealmer there is an addition where you may add a label to the referring site in the copied text and discover a short description of the website at the conclusion of the copied text.

That's beautifully explained article with the different colour coding for better understanding. Well, many people are totally into movies and trailers. And with so many channels and OTT platforms, there are many releases and a lot of trailers coming out each day. If one is interested, one has enough to keep them occupied with it.
Are you writing these movie trailer articles on some website? Is it only for Hollywood or can one write about any movie from any country.?

Is Popgeeks the site where we can write? What other sites can we use?

its a Magazine, so people must apply before they get hired. It is not a PTP but I have a task that pays people to comment in articles and I pay 4 forum coins per reply. They do hire writers who makes articles but its a long process. You must at least some sample articles as resume.

Hmmm...??? I should probably look for trailers that are advertising remakes. Since I am old I have probably seen the first version. Good tips in this article. I'm bookmarking it.

Any recent trailer that is not yet written about is fair game.

I watch YouTube-channel New Rockstars, and they will frequently 'tear trailers apart' (analyzing them frame-by-frame, Easter Egg by Easter Egg)
They wrote:We are the premiere news source for the diehard fans of whatever happens to be our collective latest obsession. We are a team of insightful and hilarious nerds: Erik Voss, Jessica Clemons, MT, Whitney Van Laningham, Tommy Bechtold, Anna Vanston, and more co-hosts. Brandon Barrick is our Director of Programming, Zach Huddleston our Director of Sales, John Costa our Production Lead and Producer of The Breakroom, Riley Auskelis our Post-Production Coordinator, and Patti Miller our Head of Operations.

when writing about movie trailers, the goal is to provide readers with an engaging and informative perspective on the film being promoted.
I love your articles in Popgeeks, don't know why I can't access the page with the forums to work on.

Thanks for this article.
