Teaser Trailers.

I've looked at some trailers. This has helped me come to some conclusions about conventions used;
- Most teaser trailers are between 30 seconds to a minute long.
- The name 'teaser trailer' can be very plain, some may not include that much footage from the actual film, the idea is to tease the audience. A reason for this may be that the teaser trailer is released a while before the full length film is, so the editing and production may not be complete. The teaser triler is designed to let the audience know that the film is coming rather than going into detail on the plot.

Because I've picked to try make a horror trailer, I need to follow certain conventions, like;
• Most horror type trailers include black screen (so it looks like it is flashing in between shots).
• Usually there are lots of fast cuts/transitions.
• Sometimes CGI footage is used.(but i don't have the equipment to do this)
• There is little information about the plotline.
