<P> A trailer ( also known as a preview or coming attraction ) is a commercial advertisement for a feature film that will be exhibited in the future at a cinema , the result of creative and technical work . The term `` trailer '' comes from their having originally been shown at the end of a feature film screening . That practice did not last long , because patrons tended to leave the theater after the films ended , but the name has stuck . Trailers are now shown before the film begins . </P>
