What is a Teaser Trailer?
A teaser trailer is a short trailer used to advertise an upcoming film, television program, video game or similar, usually released long in advance of the product, so as to "tease" the audience.
The difference between a teaser trailer and a theatrical trailer Teaser trailers are usually very short in length when compared to a typical theatrical trailer, teaser trailers are usually around 30-60 seconds long in length. Teaser trailers normally contain very little if any actual footage from the film. Sometimes a teaser trailer is just a shorter version of the theatrical trailer. Teaser trailers are usually only made for big budgeted and popularly themed movies. The purpose of a teaser trailer isn't to tell the audience about the movie's content, it is used to let them know that the movie is coming up in the near future and to create a hype of the upcoming release. Teaser trailers are often made while the film is still in production or in the process of being edited as a result they may feature deleted or alternative scenes which won't be used in the finished film.

Research for Teaser Trailer

A Bronx Tale
We used A Bronx Tale as an influence in our media teaser trailer because its based on a gangster/mob theme which is just like our trailer and also the clothes & props used in the trailer are similar to what we expect to use.
|
American Gangster
American Gangster was a big influence on our teaser trailer because its the same theme (1970 gangsters) and also how that one gang manage to control everything and manage to scare more than a few people, this is similar to ours because hopefully in our trailer we will have the one gang which scare and control everything. American Gangster shows us how the 1970s gangsters and cops use to dress and the props (such as guns, badges, cars) looked like.

The God-Father
The Godfather was a great way of us looking at what we want and what we have, for example we want ours to look 1970 gangsters/cops theme and the Godfather has a lot of scenes where the cops and gangsters would dress (different angles and different camera shots).

Law Abiding Citizen
_The plot focuses on a man who ten years after his wife
and daughter are brutally murdered, returns to extract justice from the
assistant district attorney who prosecuted the case against their
killers. His vengeance threatens not only the man who allowed mercy to
supersede justice, but also the system and the city that made it so.

This screen shot helps to show miss en scene. The use of props in this film (Chainsaw) helps to emphasis on the extreme violence witch is associated with it. Due to them using a chainsaw instead of a knife shows how gory and gruesome this film is. The genre we have selected is crime, and our group doesn't have access to props such as chainsaws and big knives so our project will be less gruesome then this film.
