Making Game Trailers:

Making a game trailer is like making music: you have to decide what kind of piece you want to write. Is it a ballad? A punk track? How will you play with tempo? What emotions do you want to evoke?

The article uses the Robocop game as an example in making a story trailer. Though is is not regard as a way for indie game devs. I think Inide Games should focus on showing game play, its still an interesting read.
