Teaser Trailer

A "Teaser Trailer" is a usually short film trailer which "Teases" the audience by showing them small clips of the film. It is intended to draw people in and make them want to watch the full movie. It usually gives an idea about the story line and sometimes ends in a 'cliff hanger' type of way so that the audience are drawn in even more.

Below are a few examples of which me and my group thought were effective "teaser trailers"

28 Days Later (2002)






This trailer is effective because its completly diffrent to conventional trailers. The clinical diffrence between this trailer and conventional trailers are that they dont follow the known tradition of having an narrator. Instead this trailer uses powerful rethorical phrases which has many polysemic meanings which the audience what answers to0.


This Is England (2006)



This trailer is completly diffrent to the methood to the one used by 28 days. This is because the main methood to assist the audience is the use of music. The director uses non digetic music and i belive that it makes the teaser trariler more effective because through the music the audience can see the diffrent stages of the film being represented. In addition to this the clips of england at the time being represented appeals to the audience as it shows its going to be an historical film. the section where the character says "put your hands off him now!" this quickly shows the audience that the film is grity and violent.


Run Fat Boy Run (2007)

Run Fat Boy Run movie trailer


Run Fat Boy uses a narrator which helps the audience have some context and information about the plot. This works well in the teaser trailer because it helps raises reasonable questions towards the plot of the storyline. . The film clips are picked effectivly as all the clips are humourous which is what the director spefically does to sell the genre of the film across to the audience.
