The US version of the trailer does not assume viewer prior knowledge of the main character Flavia de Luce and uses the captions ‘is busy whipping up a concoction in her laboratory… that will capture SAINT NICK’ to introduce her eccentric nature.

LEAD Analysis
Trailer Arc
The trailer is three summaries: character, plot and problem. Very complete and compact.

The Canadian version is a play on the classic 'Night before Christmas.' The music is staccato and not typical holiday fare. The trailer relies on the viewer knowing the character Flavia De Luce by reputation.
- Twas the night before Christmas
- and all through Buckshaw
- Not a creature was stirring...
- Except Flavia
Introducing the latest addition to the Flavia De Luce mystery series by bestselling author Alan Bradley. Give the gift of Flavia
Missed Opportunity
This trailer relies on the viewer knowing the character from previous books.

Trailer Arc
I like the night before Christmas approach but the approach only works if the viewer knows the author or character by reputation.
Publisher Intro
It’s Christmastime, and Flavia de Luce—an eleven-year-old sleuth with a passion for chemistry—is tucked away in her laboratory, whipping up a concoction to ensnare Saint Nick. But she is soon distracted when a film crew arrives at Buckshaw, the de Luces’ decaying English estate, to shoot a movie starring the famed Phyllis Wyvern. Amid a raging blizzard, the entire village of Bishop’s Lacey gathers at Buckshaw to watch Wyvern perform, yet nobody is prepared for the evening’s shocking conclusion: a body found strangled to death with a length of film. But who among the assembled guests would stage such a chilling scene? As the storm worsens and the list of suspects grows, Flavia must ferret out a killer hidden in plain sight.
