This is the first time that I have ever come across this film, as I researched 'independent film teaser trailers' into Youtube. I felt it of great importance that I should watch all of the trailers that were available - and the first one I watched was this. I found it to be weird, as the content which was included at the start had nothing to do with what I watched in the film trailer for this film. I found it to be amusing once I watched this trailer a couple of times, as I realized that you don't necessarily have to include full content from the film, so long as it includes a small basis of the story line - so that the audience are 'teased'. This film was produced by The College Of Fine Arts at Ball State University, the Institute for Digital Entertainment and Education (IDEE), and Clothespin Films, LLC.
Sex And The City 2 Teaser Trailer - Hollywood Conglomerate Film (Big Budget)
This teaser trailer doesn't give too much of what happens in the film away, however, its enough to get us "Carried away" with the plot. They use various establishing shots of places such as New York & Abu Dhabi. We see that the fashion has become increasingly better from the 1st Sex And The City film; and it shows that, in order to understand what is happening in this one, you have to have seen the first film in the sequel. Like the first teaser trailer "My Name Is Jerry" it uses text to almost allow you to read more into what you see which helps to further develop on how much you are being teased - as you start questioning what will happen.
Modern Romance Teaser Trailer - Independent Film Company (WICKED Cinema)
This is the first teaser trailer which I have seen to be so short, so I feel that i need to do some research into how long the average teaser trailer should - and needs to be. I found the editing techniques to be of poorer standard when compared to the other two teaser trailers that I have looked at, however, this is something which I need to look at in more detail - as I will have to decide what type of techniques should be used along with the type of genre I use.
Amelie Teaser Trailer - French Independent Film
Watching this teaser trailer, I get the feeling that it relates to the character of Amelie. Having not watched the film itself, I want to know more about her, because, as an audience member, I feel she is portrayed to be shy yet cheeky, innocent yet provocative and living a fast paced life when she wants to really be in the slow lane. I love the way that this teaser trailer has been edited to almost bring sound to the no speech trailer, also bringing life to the 'dullness' of the colours. Everything contrasts well to tease me - and the audience.
After watching 4 or 5 different types of teaser trailers, I have come to the conclusion that It should Be 1 minute - 1.30 minutes, however the minimum amount of time given should be 40 seconds. The teaser trailer should reveal parts of the film which could be a shared frame of reference if there is a previous film or t.v episode. The audience should find or see something which they will want to know more about as the film release date comes ever nearer.
By the end, we should have an idea on something which could happen, as writing with subtitles should ask questions, however, they should not be answered.
Babylon Dictionary 'Teaser Trailer' definition
A teaser trailer, or teaser is a short trailer used to advertise an upcoming movie, game or television series.
Teasers, unlike typical theatrical trailers, are usually very short in length (between 30–60 seconds) and usually contain little if any actual footage from the film. Sometimes it is merely a truncated version of a theatrical trailer. They are usually released long in advance of the film they advertise.
