Conventions of Teaser Trailers

I have chosen to analyse three different teaser trailers with different genres to find out if the conventions between the three teaser trailers are the same regardless of genre.

The first teaser trailer I have chosen to look at is Star Trek Into Darkness. 





The conventions I found in this teaser are:

  • Several images from the film
  • Director credits
  • Voiceover man 
  • Crew from the film
  • Music
  • Impact Sound effects
  • Title
  • Release date
  • Production company logo
  • Quick flashes and cuts
  • Reference to format
  • Eye candy


The second teaser I chose to look at was Ted.



The conventions I found in this trailer are:

  • Production company logo
  • Images from the film
  • Images of stars
  • Release date
  • Voiceover man
  • Music
  • Reference to other film
  • Title


The last teaser I chose to look at was Super 8




The conventions I found in this trailer are:


  • Production company logo
  • Images from the film
  • Eye Candy
  • Reference to other films
  • Music
  • Flashes
  • Quick fades
  • Title of film
  • Release date
  • Reference to format
  • Website
I can see from analysing these three teaser trailers that the conventions between them are all very similar regardless of genre. I also found out that the teasers do not give you a good sense of what is happening in the film because you do not get enough of the story line,
