also known as recut trailers, involves collecting multiple pieces of film footage from one or more films and editing them to create a new trailer. Trailer mashups are often created for a film that does not currently exist or to change the genre of an existing film. They are derivative works as defined by the United States Copyright Act 17 USC § 101 and, as such, may be eligible for protection against copyright claims under the fair use doctrine.
There is no intention to infringe on anyone's intellectual property. This is not intended to deceive or defraud anyone; rather, it's meant to give fans a taste of what the film could be like. I don't own the equipment; I simply produce trailers for fans and anyone who is excited about a film.
Trailer mashups are not only a form of user-generated digital creativity, but also a way to build anticipation for future releases, working in tandem with current movie trailers. Movie trailers are designed to give minimal plot details and to create hype and anticipation. Fan-made trailer mashups allow audiences to make their own cinematic version of current movie sequences. This allows the trailer to focus on a specific actor or part of the film. It might even completely change the plot or genre of the film.
