Research & Planning: Teaser Trailer Interviews


Interview with Angela Pearson On What you expect from a Teaser Trailer
The interesting points that Angela mentioned in the interview were

  • She stated her favorite genre was horror, this useful as the Teaser Trailer I'm going to produce will be horror.
  • I asked her what she thought the difference between a full length and a teaser trailer where, she pointed out that a teaser trailer is usually shorter and doesn't tell you as much information than a full length one as it doesn't include a climax and a ending as it would be pointless going to watch the film, she also added that they use flashing images linked with subtitles or even a voice over, also added that when they produce the teaser trailer then film is still in production.
  • Angela mentioned that main conventions in horror trailer's are low key lighting, isolated settings, that typical storyline where a group of friends get killed off by one or a villan who commits a crime and the recent type where people get torched such as 'Saw' Films.
  • She mentioned that a film would be more appealing to her if a new idea,context was used preferably a supernatural side similar to the film 'Paranormal Activity' rather than a villan, as it comes across more frightening to her.
  • She says that she expects isolation, haunted home or stereotypically set in the woods in the Mise-En-Scene of a Teaser Trailer.
  • Lastly I asked her whats her favorite Horror movie she has watched, mentioning Halloween and Candy Man, however the most affective was The Blair Witch Project as it was that apprehension feeling that your about to see something throughout the film that can scare you the most.
  • By this interview it has helped me to gain an understanding on what an audience feels and looks for when watching a Teaser Trailer, helping me continue to produce my own Horror Teaser Trailer
