Teaser Trailers is used to create excitment and suspense of the upcoming film coming. I believe in my Film Trailer I have used many conventions.
The opening to my Trailer starts off with my main character talking to my the audience. I thought that this would be an affective way of introducing my character persona which is central to the plot.
The storyline of my trailer is my two main characters taking the day of school and spending it together. To establish it the main story line of the film i added in a scene which explains this. This was a convention of teaser trailers as it establishes the story as most teaser trailers do.This is also a genric convention as in teen romances the film is usually based around two charatcers who share an experience that starts their reletionship.
As well as this I included a number of scenes from the film to give hint of the clips very fast as a way of intriguing the audience as they are only given short snappy clips from the films. This is a very common convention of teaser trailers as it doesn't portray a lot of scenes. I took this technique from the 500 days of summer trailer which features scenes of the two characters to show that film is central to these characters. The change of quick shots during the trailer is a convention of film trailers as it creates sudden anticipation and excitement to see the film.
The use of quick shots is convention of teaser trailers as it is quicker compared to the full length trailer. It is away of giving the audience a sense of the plot with giving away too much of the storyline.
Another convention I used was the shot that introduces Nancy. The scene is of when Josh first sees her at school. This not only establishes her character but also establishes that the film will be based around her.I took this technique from the 500 days of summer trailer which features the scene where Tom first sees Summer. However when filming this shot I do believe that I have made this scene longer aswell as making it a close up shot, so the audience really establish the charatcer.
However I believe I could of made this scene more effective by inculding a close up shot of Nancy and Josh. This way I believe the characters would have been established straight away from the start of the teaser trailer.
Instead of having a voiceover I decided to have title sequences in my trailer. I thought this would an effective way of explaining the plot of the film. I thought that this would give my teaser a " story effect". This is typical convention of teaser trailers as it makes it easier for the audience to follow along the storyline.
Through my film trailer I do not believe that I challenged many conventions. I decided not to do this as my film was mainstream I believe it was based to keep the usual conventions to statisfy my audience. Considering I was doing teen romance it believed it would be too differcult to challenge the conventions.
I researched Music I thought would be suitable to my genre.I thought the music I choose would be suitable as it worked well with the scenes I used. I decided to have two soundtracks to my trailer. By changing the soundtrack half way through the trailer it keeps the audience interested and excited.
In my poster and magazine I have used many different conventions.
