Spoiler: Things start quiet, then there's a lot of shouting and quick cuts!
The rhythm of the movie trailer is governed by a very specific formula. Things start off slow and quiet, with wide establishing shots of landscape and ponderous slow pans over the familiar faces of the film's stars, with music quietly establishing a mood. Things get more intense as things progress, with the first snippets of dialogue enticing viewers with great lines, removed from context, that take on added gravity, as the imagery gets more intense and specific. The cuts get quicker as the action gets more intense, and the voices get shoutier and the music gets more dramatic as things culminate in a sweeping sort of sensory overload that leaves the viewer exhilarated, and eager to find some satisfaction when the movie actually opens.
