How do you make a good video game trailer?

I've Got It
So I've recently found a new indie game which is relitively small for now. I would love to eventaully create a trailer for Dungeon Dashers (That's the name of the game), but what would I need to do to make it look good?
 
Well what would make me watch a trailer would be:
  • Good, appropriate tempo music that fits with the video
  • Good quality shots, showing some of the best things about the game
  • Some small lines of text to provide a story maybe (not to much though just a line each time)
  • Keep it short but sweet you need to attract people to the game as soon as they first see it

If you mean how did I create the game, i'm afraid I did not make it :P but I was given a free copy so i want to do my best to advertise a really good game! So i want to try make a trailer for it, first though I'll do a play through and think how best to emphasize the aspects of the game!
 
So I've uploaded the first playthrough part, perhapes it would help if you saw some unedited footage of the game to determine whether or not a trailer would be easy to create or not.

It should be possible, just choose some of the scenes with the more interesting battle sections and show some of what the games about :)

As much as the playthrough hasn't really got viewed, I still will finish it. 1 more video until the let's play so far is done, after that I got to wait for the next build. So I can start working on a trailer after that, just struggling to find the music to be honest.
