Research & Planning: Conventions of teaser trailers.

We have decided to produce a teaser trailer, poster and magazine cover. This will be more challenging compared to AS media where we produced a music magazine cover and contents page. A teaser trailer is an advertisement for an upcoming film, by showing montage of clips from the film to sell the product to an audience.


This horror teaser trailer of Saw 3D, is a very well made trailer that has a high use of technological trailer that uses CGI, I know that I cant physical re create this but the conventions are:
  • MPAA (motion picture association of America) warning.
  • Distribution and Production company.
  • Subtitle and a voice over.
  • Montage of clips from the movie with great use of cinematography.
  • Rapid editing.
  • The tile of the film towards the end of the trailer.
  • A website address.
  • Release date.
  • CGI (Computer-generated imagery)

This teaser trailer for Paranormal Activity, is more manageable to produce, due to the realistic cinematography, editing and the technology used  I believe this id be more capable to re create this kind especially with the time management. The conventions of this teaser trailer are:
  • MPAA at the start.
  • Erie music throughout, building tension.
  • Establishing scenes followed by rapid action.
  • Quick use of editing.
  • Release date- with a slug line that adapts with the genre.
  • Blank black screens and subtitles.
  • Montage of shots from the film.
  • Diegetic sound from the clips.
  • Title of the film.
  • Production/ distributor- Paramount 
  • A Website.
