Teaser Trailers

We watched the following teaser trailers to research what teaser trailers look like, how long they are, what is included and what is not included, to help us get a better idea of what our teaser trailer could be like. We also analyed the teaser trailers for other films earlier on in the year.

Minds Of Glass -

In this teaser trailer, I liked how the music is quite soft and slow, but still sound's creepy. Also, when the music suddenly get's faster and lot's of action shot's are shown, although a lot of the storyline is given away whereas we want our's to be a lot more mysterious and to show less of the characters. The storyline of the film is similiar to what we want to do, as it show's a relationship gone wrong and one of them wanting revenge. It also looks like something we could shoot as it looks like a low budget independent type film.


One Hour Photo -
This teaser trailer start's off as happy and innocent, with calm music playing and the shot's flowing together softly. The pace of the music suddenly build's up and the shot's are cut together much more sharply. Title's are used saying things such as 'He knows your life' which immediately provokes a reaction from the audience. Close-ups on his eyes are used to convey that he is psychotic and to draw the audience in to the character. The voice-over is used to provide the audience with a brief outline of the plot, but not too much is given away, like in the Minds Of Glass trailer.



Public Enemies -

I like the way that this teaser trailer build's up gradually, it start's off with outlining what the story is about and including titles saying 'America's most notorious criminal' and there is not much sound, just quiet music playing. We then see a shot of Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, who are the two main characters in the film and well-known actors. The music then changes and sound's a lot more cheery as many continuous shot's of John Dillinger are shown. There is a lot of speech in this teaser trailer and we are not going to include that in our's, but the titles they have used to inform the audience and also build suspense are something we want to incorporate into our teaser trailer.
