Most of the time, a trailer is a sneak peek of an audiovisual work – a way in which companies can show us some nice bits from a game or a movie to convince us that they deserve our money. As soon as we get our hands on the final product, we usually don’t go back to trailers considering that they are just a small part of the whole.
However, there are moments in which a trailer can actually be remembered – when it is so well-made that people frequently go back to rewatch it!
