Trailer Vs Teaser

Teasers and Trailers are two kinds of promotional tools for a movie that differ in duration, nature and characteristics. It is important to know that a teaser is shorter than a trailer. In general a trailer runs approximately for three minutes. A typical teaser trailer is around a minute.Generally they don't  rely on an ordered narrative and give only glimpses of  actors, so as to give the audience only a hint  of what the film is like, without giving too much away. Teaser trailers try to determine genre which then decides the target audience.

A teaser by its nature gives away very little about the movie, since it is very much likely to contain only a few clips from the movie. On the other hand, a trailer can give and provide us many details about the movie, since it is likely to contain quite a few clips from the movie. Sometimes tease may have been filmed a long time before the film shoot. Teasers begin the task of generating interest in an upcoming film, sometimes almost a year before the film is scheduled for release.


On the other hand, a trailer is usually completed only after the entire film is completed. A trailer therefore cannot be made before the completion of the movie. This is one of the important differences between a teaser and a trailer.

A trailer will have some of the musical score of the movie, details about key members of the crew such as director, cinematographer, assistant director. Also the studio in which the film was shot, these are details which are unlikely to be shown in a teaser. In most cases a trailer allows you to get an outline of the film, teasers don't generally follow this convention. Trailers give much more in the way of plot details and will be filled with more actual footage  of the film.
