A '''snipe''' is a clip that is run before a feature presentation or during an intermission. Unlike other preshow content such as [[trailers]], [[newsreels]], [[cartoons]], and [[short subjects]], which primarily serve as entertainment, snipes serve a functional purpose, such as advertising, making notifications, or structuring other content. | A '''snipe''' is a clip that is run before a feature presentation or during an intermission.
