Planning & Research - Conventions Research

Last year I produced a music magazine & as my skills have progressed I am challenging myself by producing a teaser trailer.

A teaser trailer is a short promotional advertisement for a upcoming media product. In my case my teaser will be promoting a film. Unlike a regular trailer a teaser trailer is usually around 30-90 seconds containing action packed clips from the film used to engage the audience but not give too much of the plot away.


Here are some examples of teaser trailers:


This teaser trailer is very well put together & I believe our trailer could be edited in a similar style & be as/maybe more gripping but due to restrictions on budget and location we could not create a 3D film or film in such secluded locations therefore limiting us.



In my opinion this teaser trailer is very easy to do & with the resources we possess I believe we could create a trailer to a much higher standard than this.

Codes & Conventions of a horror teaser trailer:
  • Fast paced editing
  • Voice over
  • Dark lighting
  • Tension
  • Scary music
  • Blood
  • Secluded location
  • Female main character
  • Murderer/Culprit
