Trailers are made by companies, not individuals. You would be working as an editor for the company. Sometimes you would be editing movie trailers. Other times, you would be editing TV commercials, industrial films, training films, etc. "The people who create trailers often begin their work while the movie is still being shot. Since the edited movie does not exist at this point, the trailer editors work from rushes or dailies. The trailer may be created at agencies (such as The Cimarron Group, MOJO, The Ant Farm, Aspect Ratio, Trailer Park) while the movie itself is being cut together at the studio. Thus, the trailer may contain footage that is not in the final movie, or the trailer editor and the movie editor may use different takes of a particular shot. Another common technique is including music on the trailer which does not appear on the movie's soundtrack. This is nearly always a requirement, as trailers and teasers are created long before the composer has even been hired for the film score — sometimes as much as a year ahead of the movie's release date — while composers are usually the last creative people to work on the film. For instance, Forrest Gump used music from Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story for its trailer while the 2008 superhero film Iron Man featured the song of the same name by Black Sabbath in its promotion." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_(film) http://www.scribd.com/doc/5107696/How-Are-Movie-Trailers-Made http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/10/movie-trailers-the-final-cut/ Ten years ago, they earned $8.07 per hour. http://www.ioscar.org/la/profile/occdata.asp?onetcode=27-4032.00 ===== You might like to take the "Interest Profiler."
