Teaser trailers and theatrical trailers differ in their editing, sound, and scenes shown. Teaser trailers typically feature a single, unique scene edited together with a unique soundtrack, while theatrical trailers show short clips from throughout the film edited quickly together to build tension without giving too much away, often using recognizable songs or an enhanced soundtrack. Both may use the same characters, locations, and props from the film, but teaser trailers are designed to illustrate a single scene while theatrical trailers showcase the best parts of the entire movie.
Room 1408
The trailer editing pace starts moderately slow but speeds up towards the end to build climax and leave viewers wanting more. Names of famous actors are mentioned midway through and at the end to emphasize their importance. The final frame provides production details and release date, while the classification is usually omitted unless it warrants warning viewers of graphic content. Logos of production companies are displayed to promote their business and films.
Teaser conventions
Teaser trailers are typically shorter than 90 seconds and are meant to excite audiences about upcoming films without revealing full plots or stories. They establish main characters and relationships through carefully selected shots and footage. Dramatic music, camera angles, dialogue, and voiceovers are used to build atmosphere and intrigue viewers without giving away too many details, ending in a cliffhanger to generate anticipation for the full film.
Teaser conventions
Teaser trailers are typically shorter than 90 seconds and are meant to excite audiences about upcoming films without revealing full plots or stories. They establish main characters and relationships through carefully selected shots and footage. Dramatic music, camera angles, dialogue, and voiceovers are used to build atmosphere and tension while revealing just enough about the genre and conflict to intrigue viewers and create anticipation for the full release. Teaser trailers aim to launch marketing campaigns and draw initial interest without giving too much away.
Task 1
Film trailers are an important marketing tool for movies as they create interest and promote the film. Trailers typically include key moments and highlights from the movie to entice viewers without revealing too much of the plot. They also showcase the main stars, director, and release date to attract audiences. The goal of a trailer is to make people want to see the full film by teasing elements of the story, characters, themes, and genre in an engaging way through video clips, music, and voiceovers.

Gender in our trailer
The document discusses the representation of gender in the film Shatterproof. It notes that in many noir films, the femme fatale is represented as a mysterious and seductive woman who charms men into dangerous situations. However, in Shatterproof, the femme fatale Leo Newton subverts this by being bisexual. The document also discusses how representations in media become familiar over time and feel natural. It analyzes how representations of women have changed from traditional noir films to neo-noir, with femmes fatales in neo-noir portrayed more as purely evil. Shatterproof further subverts expectations by representing the main women, Myra Frost and Leo Newton, as strong-willed individuals who dominate scre

Audience feedback
The document summarizes qualitative feedback from test audiences on a draft trailer for the film "Shatterproof." Over half of respondents said they liked films in the genre (noir) but this genre only appeals to a niche audience. Most viewers are attracted to films based on famous actors but since "Shatterproof" has unknown actors, this puts it at a disadvantage. While 70% said they'd like to see the film based on the trailer, weaknesses included the acting and soundtrack. Direction and narrative were strengths but clearer storytelling and improved acting are needed for the next draft.

The document discusses the representation of gender in the film Shatterproof. It notes that traditionally, femme fatales in film noir are represented as mysterious and seductive women who charm men into dangerous situations. However, in Shatterproof, the femme fatale Leo Newton subverts this by being bisexual. The document also discusses how Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze has traditionally framed women as objects of pleasure for the male viewer but that Shatterproof avoids this by representing the women Myra Frost and Leo Newton as strong-willed individuals rather than objects.
Brick trailer analysis
This document analyzes shots from the trailer for the film "Brick". It summarizes that the opening shot effectively uses dark lighting and blurring to create a sense of mystery. Several shots show violence and danger to intrigue audiences about the plot. Clues in close-ups also act as "enigma codes" that hint at the story without giving it away. Key noir conventions like dark lighting, water, and themes of romance are represented throughout the trailer.
The history of the movie trailer
The first film trailers began as advertisements shown between films in theaters in the 1910s. In 1919, the National Screen Service gained a monopoly on creating and distributing trailers, establishing a template that became standard. Trailers evolved from being silent to incorporating sound in 1929. Experimentation increased in the 1940s-60s as the National Screen Service's control declined. By the 1990s, trailers had become big business and focused more on safely selling expensive films than taking risks or revealing too much of the plot.

Film vs trailer
- 1. FILM VS TRAILER E L L I E B O R G
- 2. LENGTH • The length of a film compared to a trailer is very different. • Usually, films last for 2 hours, whereas trailers last 2.30 minutes.
- 3. NARRATIVE • Some aspects of the narrative are similar in trailers and films. • The trailer of a film usually shows snippets of scenes from the beginning, middle and towards the end to give the audience an indication of the plot, but not enough for them to understand what happens. This point of this is to make them feel intrigued and make them want to watch the full movie in order to see what happens.
- 4. EDITING • The editing is very different in a trailer compared to the movie. • A film uses linear editing where everything happens in order, whereas a trailer uses montage editing where sections are moved around and jumbled up so they are not in the order of how the events occurred. • In trailers, it is possible to build up layers of footage, for example, a soundtrack, voiceover, and footage can be used at once. • The shots are often cut at a faster pace in trailers as the length is shorter, also this is done so not too much detail is given away from what happens in the film. • Different types of transitions are used between shots to give different effects, for example, fades would be used to indicate a slower paced film whereas a wipe would give a different effect.
- 5. TITLES • Trailers use titles to add more detail, and show who produced, directed, starred and played a role in the construction of the movie. They are also used to show recommendations and reviews from other sources in order to promote the film.
- 6. SOUND • Soundtracks are often used in trailers which are not used in films to add suspense and tension to the trailer. • In trailers, voice over narration is usually used on top of footage to give the audience a better understanding of the narrative. Usually, the voice-over is taken from dialogue from the actual scene in the movie, and is layered on top of footage from different sections of the film. • Generally, more sound effects are used in trailers.
- 7. GOAL • The goal of a trailer is to promote the film, intrigue the audience and make them want to purchase and watch the whole film. • The goal of a film is to entertain people.
