Research and Planning: Teaser Trailer Conventions

Now I have spent some time studying various teaser trailers and full trailers, I now have a rough idea of what is expected in a trailer to give a lasting effect on the audience and make them remember the trailer and want to see the film. The typical time for a teaser trailer would be about 1 minute long, just giving a glimpse of what is to come in the film. In my teaser trailer I would like to include these things:

• Plenty of peaks
• The name of the film 
• The production company which produced our film
• A voice over or titles, maybe both 
• A small insight into the narrative
• Maybe the certificate 

 This teaser trailer of House At The End Of The Street is a good example of a trailer which we would be able to recreate through our editing programs, including imovie or final cut pro. The special effects of this film also aren't extremely advanced despite being a conglomerate film, the trailer also has a lasting effect on the audience as it did on me, meaning that I could make my trailer with just short snippets of the actual narrative and still make the audience want to go and view my film.
