How long does a video need to be? For Les Misérables Movie Preview, 4:37.



Boston Globe: ‘Les Miserables’ extended trailer, with interviews with Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman

How long does a video need to be?
This extended look trailer for the new Les Misérables movie is the perfect length. 4:37. ;-)

Totally entertaining.

Left me wanting more.

1,491,138 views as of this posting.

On my earlier question, of how long a video should be, my frined Schlomo Rabinowitz had a good answer over on Google Plus.



Social Media Outposts
les mis socialmedia links

Nice way to display social media outposts for the film in the end credits of the YouTube extended look video.

YouTube Video:

Social Media Outposts:
www.facebook.com/LesMisMovie
twitter.com/lesmiserables
www.lesmiserablesfilm.com

Notice how all the Social Media outposts are explicitly described.

Each page is well designed too:

One Suggestion: Clickable Links on YouTube Video Description
One way that they can improve would be to add clickable links to their social media outposts to the description field of the YouTube video.
