Teaser Trailer Conventions

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
