Research & Planning: Teaser Trailer Conventions

For my coursework this year i will be producing a teaser trailer, a magazine front cover and a poster.

I have studied the Saw teaser trailer and have come to the conclusion that I will not be able to make a trailer to this standard due to the use of CGI used in the film and trailer. This trailer has the use of subtitles as well as character voice overs which I could use in my trailer. Things such as the production and distribution company are shown which I will add onto my trailer. Some editing techniques I may be able to use from the trailer too.





This trailer is for The Blair Witch Project and I have studied this trailer because this is more simpler and this is to the standard that I could make my horror teaser trailer. It is the conventional length that a teaser trailer must be. The editing techniques are simple with fade to blacks and there is the use of subtitles as well as character voice overs which I could easily do. Very little footage is actually shown in this trailer and for what is shown, I could easily use to help as it is of an easy standard. The scenes that were shown are simple running scenes which I could do easily and it has the use of screaming for sound.
