Throughout the trailers I have looked at, I have recorded all the recurring conventions that are portrayed in both teaser, and theatrical trailers. The findings will further help me when creating my own trailer.
These are the main conventions I have spotted:
- Production company logo
- Voice over clips
- Shows central protagonist
- Gives a potential clue to the cause of the storyline
- Impact sounds
- Small / big clips of action scenes
- Builds up tension by music
- Not a specific release date ( sometimes )
- Cuts to black
- Tag lines separate
- Advertisement for previous films ( sometimes )
- Star names
- Release date
- CGI effects ( depending in genre )
- Credits
- Film name
