What is a Teaser Trailer? :)

After watching various different 'teaser trailers' we are now able to establish the difference between a standard trailer and a teaser trailer. 

The trailers we watched were:

-'The Human Centipede II (full sequence)

-'Green with Envy'. The Muppet's.

-'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'

-'The Twilight Saga 'Breaking Dawn' Part 1.'

-'Arthur Christmas'

After watching these different trailers with different structures, we noticed that they had these things in common: 

- Teaser trailers don't give away the film's storyline making the audience want to know more about its plot and whats involved within the film. 

- Each consist of clips in which have been edited purposely so are short/quick in a continuous phase therefore gives the audience a idea of the films genre and continuing the trailers pace. 

-The trailers we watched were quite short (shorter than an usual ordinary trailer) adding to the idea of the trailer being a 'tease'. For example, 'The Twilight Saga 'Breaking Dawn' part I' is only 15 seconds long focusing particularly on the wedding which the film is specifically revolved around. 

-The music of the film relates to the film's genre therefore it had been carefully thought of to draw the audience into the trailer in hope for them to wish to watch the film. 

-Playful structure with the sound, editing and titles.

-The titles were not reviews or quotes which a viewer created but are more persuasive for example, 'The Human Centipede Part II reads 'Has Horror Gone Too Far?'. 

Also, in two of the trailers we watched there was use of direct address which is used to intrigue the audience into watching the trailer. This was used in 'Arthur Christmas' particularly and 'Green with Envy, the Muppets'.

The music in this trailer 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' is really effective. Especially towards the end as it becomes more distorted when the camera gets towards the house showing that the house is important and creates and eerie atmosphere. Furthermore this trailer consists just of quick footage of the film however not showing much of the storyline to us audience members making it harder for us to understand nevertheless making us want to watch it.
