Research- Introduction

For the first part of my introduction research task, I'm going to be looking into the difference from a movie trailer Vs an actual full movie trailer, I want to find out the difference in codes and conventions that are used in both types of trailers.

Firstly "what is a teaser trailer"
A teaser trailer is a short trailer that is often used to advertise an upcoming film or other media form. it can be released months before the due date of the official film to help create an anticipation and interest from the target audience.

The teaser trailers main purpose is to tease the audience with short snippets from the movie and by not revealing too much of the plot, a teaser trailer is usually under two minutes.


For one example this film "The Divergent Series" teaser trailer is (2.10)

A Movie Trailer;
A theatrical trailer is a much more in depth well revised longer trailer which tells us more about the plot of the film and gives us exact dates when it will be out. A movie trailer can tend to be up to four or five minutes.

For this movie trailer it is an extended trailer (5.41) this shows the difference in lengths of a teaser trailer compared to the full length movie trailer.
