Research and Planning: Teaser Trailer Conventions

This year we need to make a film trailer, either full or a teaser, a film magazine cover and the films poster. Through all of my recent research and planning I have found out the basics needed to include to make our film trailer realistic. An average film trailer will last around a minute and give an audience snippets of the film to entice them to come and see it at the cinema. The trailer should include

•  A small look into the narrative
• A voice over/ titles
• The release date
• The production company
• The name of my film
• Plenty of peaks and 'jumpy bits'

This is an example of something I would be able to achieve. There are no special effects but the fear factor comes from the use of pace and camera angles. This can be easily recreated.

This is something I can't do due to the heavy use of special effects and CGI animation. However I do like the idea of a strong female character to be portrayed.
