What is a Teaser Trailer?

We have now begun our A2 course in media. For our first class we were asked to list what is a teaser trialer? what are the conventions of a teaser trailer?

• Not much information is given away- making the audeince interested
• The name of the film
• The genre of the film is given
• The release date
• The target audience the film is aimed at
• Usually less that 1 minute long
• Generally non-sequential

To understand the conventions of a teaser trailer i have decided that i will analyse some teaser trailers from different genres to see in what aspect the obey these conventions and also the effect of them on the audience. I beleive that the teaser trailers are vastly more effective than over some other forms of advertising an up and coming film as the show a taster of the film in order the leave the audenice thirsty for more but also with many questions around the film forcing them to want to go and learn more of the film, leading them to look the film up on the internet leading to more advertising for the film.

In order for the teaser trailer and the extended trailer to be judged successful depends on the amount of people attracted to watch the film at the cinema. If the film does not matched up to the trailer than the trailer has obviously been successful in getting an audeince to see the film.
