Teaser Trailer: http://teaser-trailer.com/movie/amazing-spider-man-2/

There's been teaser trailers and movie trailers released months before the release date of the movie. You find these on the internet (YouTube, official websites, pop-ups on different websites) and also found on during advertisement times on TV.They make trailers to get a general interest to people and creates this 'hype' towards the movie. They're purposely made to be suspenseful as it makes the movie look better and is a persuasive technique to get people to see the movie.

Marketing TechniquesThey've created many different movie posters as well. These would be found on big billboards in cities, bus stops, side of double decker buses, magazines/newspapers, internet (pop-ups on websites, Google images) They make these to get more popularity because some people may not see just the trailer. It opens up the opportunity for everyone seeing it as busy cities will see the poster. They'll also make different ones with hardly anything on them with just one sentence as it creates more of a mysterious feel like 'What does that mean?' which is another persuasive technique because people will pay to go see what it means. It also gives more of a hint as to what it's going to be about if it shows the good guy and the bad guy.

Marketing TechniquesWorld Wide Movie PremiersLondon, New York, LA. Everywhere around the world, a red carpet premier has happened where many stars including the cast, directors, producers etc come to see crowds of fans, media/press and paparazzi and to launch the movie.This creates yet again a hype towards the movie as it means it gets into the media, newspapers, internet etc and it means more people get to hear about it and means more people will go see it. It shows people who are in the movie and sometimes people will go see a movie if a certain celeb are in itwhich is also another good persuasive technique.
