Teaser Trailer Conventions

For my research I looked at 3 teaser trailers from different genres and I saw that the same conventions are repeated for each genre (some in a genre specific way). The most commons ones I found are these:

• Production company logos
• Images from the film
• Title of the film
• Release dates
• Indication of genre
• Website
• Voiceover
• Fast editing
• Cast, crew and director credits
• References to other films
• Images of stars
• References to awards
• Music
• Tagline
• Sound effects (Impact sounds)
• Eye candy
• A large variety of camera shots
• Little dialogue and narrative development

When I make my teaser trailer, I will try and add as many of these in as possible, but once I decide on which genre my teaser trailer will be, I will research more genre specific conventions and add those in as well.
