Teaser Trailer Conventions

2. • A teaser trailer is roughly 30 - 60 seconds and
contains many camera shots to entice the
audience but not give too much of the film
away. In this time it shows you the basic
outline of what this new film is about.

3. • A teaser trailer's main purpose is to make the
public aware of a new film being released and
to entice its target audience into wanting to
see the film. It also shows the first ideas of the
film and some of the ideas and shots that are
used may necessarily not be used in the actual
film. For example 'Train Spotting' in 1996.

4. • A teaser trailer should also contain the names
of the actors, directors and the other main
people associated with making the movie. It
therefore contains a lot of titles and shots to
go with these titles. The average teaser trailer
contains around 30 – 60 titles depending on
what kind of movie is being advertised and
how the company wants their movie to be
conveyed.
