Difference between teaser and main trailer

This is a teaser trailer for the disney film called frozen. It is 1:27 in length which is very short for a trailer but not for a teaser trailer. Teaser trailer's are generally shorter in length as it does not have as much information as a normal trailer does. A teaser trailer, as you see in this video, does not explain the story or plot of a film, nor does it give you an overlook of the scenes in the film. It is very minimalist and shows you a couple of main characters and a couple of locations, in this case one, and it has some dialog that has been taken from another scene or the scene that you are watching.




This is a normal trailer for the film 300:Rise of an Empire. This has many differences from the teaser trailer. For example, this does have dialog but it does not have as much as it mainly focuses on the sound that is in the trailer. Also, the trailer is longer as it is 2:31 which means that there is much more information about the film in the trailer. It shows much more scenes and locations than the teaser trailer.


The reason why we have the two trailers are simple. One is to give you a brief look at the film so that you are interested in finding out more about the film where as the other one tells you allot more about the film, who is in it and what you can expect from the film.

Trailers

The trailer for Pacific Rim is a good trailer for a film as it has all the things you would expect a trailer to have. for example, the trailer has all the important information through out the trailer such as the companies involved of the movie, who the director was and when the film comes out in cinema. Also the trailer is conventional as it has a voice over which gives you information about what is happening in the film yet does not give to much away (in this case it is mixed with a voice over and a speech in the film to create an atmosphere so you are more encouraged to go and see the film). The trailer also has a lot of different clips that gives you a taste of what the film will be like and also helps you to understand what the voice over is saying as the clips generally matches with what is being said.

The sound in the trailer is good as well as it has been selected to fit the clips so that it has all be timed to fit together. this is good as it helps the audience engage with the trailer and helps draw them in.






this trailer for insidious 2 is good as it fits all the conventions for a normal film trailer. it gives you clear information as to what the film is about and give you some of the plot so that you know what you are going to see. also it shows you all the main characters in the film and what role they play in the film. these are the people who talk in the trailer rather than having a voice over in the trailer as it makes it more linkable to the film knowing that the words are coming straight from the different film clips.
the edit in the trailer is mostly fade in and fade out as it adds suspense to the trailer (this helps it relate to the genre of a horror). also because its a horror it has fast cuts from one scene to another at times to also make it feel like a horror, this when added with the sound is mainly to make you jump and be surprised so that the trailer seems more scary. the sound in the trailer also helps hake if seem like a horror because most of the music is sinister and the dialogue in the trailer is mainly of the people sounded scared and worried about something.
