Etymology
The word 'prevue' is a blend of the words 'preview' and 'view,' used primarily in the context of film and media. It emerged in the early 20th century as film industry practices evolved, and studios sought new ways to promote their releases to audiences. The concept of a preview became popular as filmmakers recognized the importance of generating excitement and anticipation for their upcoming productions. As the movie industry grew, the term 'prevue' helped differentiate short promotional clips from full trailers, although today it is often used interchangeably with 'trailer.' The spelling of 'prevue' with a 'u' is a nod to its French etymology, emphasizing a more artistic connotation in the world of film marketing.
