Question 1 : What is a trailer? What is the purpose?

What is a trailer?
Trailers `are film advertisements for films that will be exhibited at the cinema in the future. The term 'trailer' comes from being shown at the end of the film.This did not last as people did not stay till the end of the film and missed all potential trailers.
Short edited clips of selected scenes that are put together into a montage. 
These can be from 1minute to 2 minute 30 seconds.

What is the purpose?

The purpose of a Trailer is to capture the audiences attention and draw them into what they are watching. It is also to advertise the film before its release. It is to inform and advertise to  the potential spectators. This is done by showing them  the most exciting or most relevant part of the film to entice them to come and watch it.
