After watching numerous teaser trailers, I have come up with a list and examples of the conventions commonly found in teaser trailer. This information will be useful for me as when I will need to make my own teaser trailer, I will know which conventions to put into it so that mine will look as authentic as possible.
- Production Company logos
- Images from the film
- Title from the film
- Release dates or a vague 'coming this summer' release date
- Indication of genre
- Website (usually at the end)
- Voice over
- Editing - transitions often include flashes, quick fades and dissolves
- Cast, crew, director credits
- Reference to other films
- Images and names of stars
- Reference to awards that cast/crew/film may have won or been nominated for
- Music
- Tagline (often split up)
- Sound effects
- Eye candy (explosions, action scenes)
- Reference to source material
- Variety of camera shots and movement
