The thriller
Cloverfield used multiple teaser trailers to promote the film and made its
target audience more aware of the film before it came out.
Another way the movie promoted itself to audiences was the
use of posters like the one above. These are a good way to reveal to the
audience the film’s release date and show them an image from the film to give
