TEASER TRAILERS : A good teaser trailer.

The teaser trailer as we know it is a relatively recent invention. The idea behind them is the need to quickly plant a seed of recognition in the mind of an audience. They give you a briefe insight into what the film is about and leaves the public wanting to see more. when creating my trailer i shall have to put a lot of thought into what gives teaser trailers their appeal and what i can do to replicate this style through my own ideas.

I found this on a website (http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Movie-Teaser)

Steps

  1. 1
    Decide what the movie is going to be about, and what type of action you'll make. Two examples are live action and animation
  2. 2
    Write a rough script, and jot down production notes: who the characters are, the setting, the theme, etc.
  3. 3
    Watch videos on YouTube or something of the sort and watch home-made teaser films. Notice their style and technique (but don't copy them).
  4. 4
    Cast for your characters, if they have speaking parts. Choose carefully. If there will be an actual movie following, the characters should match up with the ones to be in the movie. (Unless, of course, you have miscellaneous extras in it, too, that will not be in the movie.)
  5. 5
    Get your camera or computer running and go! Don't be afraid to redo several things. Filming and writing (especially so with group effort) is very hard at times, but can be very rewarding.
  6. 6
    Leave nothing ambiguous.

Teaser trailers

A teaser trailer is a short series of film clips used to advertise an upcoming movie, game or television series. The typical conventions of a teaser trailer usually are:

* That they are usually between 30-60 seconds long

* Contain the minimum amount of footage from the film, so it just teases audiences

* Released long before the film is released

* and the pace usually is fast or starts slow and picks up
