Teaser Trailer Vs Theatrical Trailers

To try and identify the differences between teaser and theatrical trailers, I am going to look at two very different film trailers for both their theatrical and teaser. The films I have chosen to look at are The Hunger Games and Oz The Great and Powerful. I am looking to see if the differences between teasers and theatrical trailers are the same regardless of genre.











The next set of trailers I looked at was from the film Oz The Great and Powerful

The third set of trailers I decided to look at was from the film Just Go With It.








In all three of these teaser and theatrical trailers I found the same similarities and differences
The similarities include:

• Both trailers include the production company logo.
• Both trailers include tag lines.
• Both trailers include release date of the film.
• Both trailers include the title of the film.
• Both trailers include impact sounds.
• Both trailers include links to social media.

The differences include: 

• Theatrical trailer uses cuts whereas the teaser trailer doesn't.
• There is much more narrative content in the Theatrical trailer.
• The sounds in the Teaser trailer is more powerful.
• The range of music is larger in the Theatrical trailer.
• The Theatrical trailer has much larger development of the character.
• The Theatrical trailer is at least three times longer that the teaser trailer.
