YOUTUBE
YouTube is a highly unfiltered site, where most production companies will post trailers or bonus content, as it is widely accessible. YouTube is where I consume most of my trailer watching as it is free, and offers the widest spread of trailers across all genres. Most recently, I have watched the new Black Widow trailer as the Marvel Marketing team traditionally only post their trailers on YouTube, Instagram and their official website. However, it is not jut film trailers that are available on this platform, often Netflix will offer trailers to their original tv series on YouTube, as the majority of viewers are also active on YouTube.
iTunes Movie Trailers
Specialist trailer websites often do more than just host trailers. They may offer a variety of different services such as browsing and categorizing options. iTunes Movie Trailers is a high quality site dedicated to trailers. It is well organised and has no adverts to spoil the page layout. It offers several ways to browse; it has links to buy and opening dates and it lists the 'top 10'. I have not personally used iTunes Movie Trailers as I don't own any Apple devices. This is a limitation, as although non-Apple consumers can still access the site, they most likely will not have heard of it as Apple does not advertise services like iTunes Movie Trailers very well to a large market.
IMDB
For every movie lover, IMDB offers a reliable and comprehensive source of information on trailers and on all other aspects of film, so if I want to search by 'trending', 'most anticipated', 'recently added' or 'most popular', it supplies several streams of information.
On the free IMDB account I use, I can find links to trailers through the website page. I have not found that I have been recommended trailers directly, but I have been recommended shows and films based on my search history which are very accurate.
Good research with clear evidence of your own personal use for viewing trailers, based on informed decisions.
