I just noticed the specific words 'sizzle reel'for the first time in a job advert. I wondered if Shooting People had more info.

What is a "sizzle reel"?

A “sizzle reel” is just a kind of terminology for getting to see more of a movie than the trailer. The studio is letting you see 2 minutes of the movie, for example. Alternatively, a sizzle reel is the kind of thing where - they do this a lot for fans - you get to see the first seven minutes of “28 Days Later” before the movie comes out to build buzz and get you all revved up about the movie. Studios have been doing that a lot, too. It's a sizzle, it's to tease people into wanting to see more of the movie.
