A teaser trailer is a short snippet of a film not showing much of the plot or story but providing enough to get the audience interested in the film. (60 seconds approximate)
I choose this teaser trailer because it doesn't give too much of the film away, whilst at the same time making the audience want to watch the film from what they have already seen. There is lots of fast cutting used which helps build up tension alongside sound effects which add to the scare factor, and you can also see the masks the killers are wearing (mise-en-scene)
I choose this trailer as one I didn't like because in my opinion it gives too much of the plot and setting away, and the trailer is too lengthy and is more like an actual trailer than a teaser trailer. There is also not much fast cutting used to build tensions however there is theme music included. The trailer also gives away too much of the mise-en-scene and the killers are seen to much so there is no mystery included.
Conventions of a teaser trailer:
Subtitles, actress and actors names, music (mood), costumes, locations, different shot types, dialogue from actors,
Conventions of my teaser trailer (horror):
Cinematography- fast cutting, panning e.c.t to grab the audiences attention, make them want to watch the film
Sound- theme music to build tension (films individual music) e.g saw, scream, the exorcist
Editing- when cutting to diffrent shots (wipe, fade) add different events
Mise-en-scene- masks, blood, knifes, e.c.t
