Research Into Teaser Trailers 4

 

 
Since I was little I have grown up watching action films and I have been surrounded by Arnie, Van Damme, Stallone, Statham etc. Their films were the only thing my older brother and I had in common back then and we would enjoy the banter in these films. I loved the first "Expendables" the release of that film was very popular and it was received differently from the usual sort of action film because it had so many of the main actors who were well known and famous for their roles in hard core action films.


  • The teaser trailer begins with the two main production logos 
  • along with some loud non-diagetic sound effects.
  • The teaser trailer is 1:33 long and doesn’t give much of what the plot might be about instead it shows some shots of the actors involved in some gun play. This technique is good because it entices the audience to be patient until the film comes out and it has also got them hooked even though there isn’t much content involved it’s just the idea of all the action based actors in it just intrigues the audience more. 
  • some of the major star is introduced in quick succession using jump cuts interleaved with their names
  • camera angles used are generally front facing and mid to close-up
