On Broadway. People described this as “an entirely new and unique stunt“.
7. Special footage trailers
Some trailers use "special shoot" footage, which is material that has been created
specifically for advertising purposes and does not appear in the actual film. The most
notable film to use this technique was Terminator 2: Judgment Day, whose trailer
featured elaborate special effects scenes that were never intended to be in the film
itself.

8. Three act structure
Most trailers have a three-act structure similar to a full feature-length film. They start
with a beginning (act 1) that lays out the premise of the story. The middle (act 2)
drives the story further and usually ends with a dramatic climax. Act 3 usually
features a strong piece of "signature music" (either a recognizable song or a
powerful, sweeping orchestral piece). This last act often consists of a visual montage
of powerful and emotional moments of the film and may also contain a cast run if
there are noteworthy stars that could help sell the movie.
