What is a Teaser Trailer?

A teaser trailer is a variation of a film trailer. Its purpose is to simply tease the audience and capture their attention, make them interested, and excited to see the film. They tend to be shorter in length than a standard film trailer, varying from 30 seconds to 1 minute 30. Teaser trailers have a sense of mystery behind them and most don't show any film footage, which is the main idea of a 'Teaser'.

Here are some examples of Teaser Trailers.

Teaser Trailer Name

After discussing with Luqman about the names, we haven't really decided on a Production Company name.
The name for our trailer, will be debated by making a survey, and it will be given out to different people in our school, for the best options. I will upload the survey once it is completed, and the results afterwards.

Considerations

Before we start planning our trailer, we need to consider many things, just to get everything set up, so there will be no distractions during the planning.

We have to make up a Production Company name, which is very difficult, as most names that we have made up, are already used by actual real production companies, which is annoying.

Also, we have to think of a name for our film trailer, which is also hard. We have thought of so many, but still none that would suit our kind if trailer, that is planned.

We also have to consider the types of soundtracks that we will be using. http://freeplaymusic.com/ Will be used again, like last year, because it has a variety of different songs, that will most definitely meet our needs.
Also, we will use this website, because all the music that is taken from there, is copyright-free, so it's totally safe, as we won't have to deal with any kinds of ownership problems.

Production Company

We had to make up a name for our so-called production company, and we had completely no ideas, at all. Whenever I would discuss with Luqman about it, we would just stay quiet, with no answers.

What Might We Name It?

We have been thinking of this from the start, ever since we have chosen the genre, which is supposedly meant to be a romance drama film trailer.
This all depends on how the plot will come out as. Usually, I'm the one who comes up with the name for our films trailers and what not. Therefore, once we get our script done, I will write back on here with the title I have come up with.

Nevertheless, I have done some research on different names for films that have been screened.

An example is Titanic.

Audience Profile

Our film trailer will appeal to different people due to the different aspects of the narrative. I think it will appeal to some people (i.e. females and fans of romance), due to the aspects of love, and the idea of a perfect relationship. Equally, I think it will appeal to another group of people, as well (i.e. Males, and people critical of romance), because of the romantic aspect.

Here are two typical examples of my target audience:

Our Decided Genre

The genre that we have decided to go ahead with, is a Romance drama.
This is because we wanted it to be a different genre from our last one, which was horror.
Also because Luqman had been wanting to create a romance trailer for quite a while now.
Therefore, we have decided a Romance, and have already started thinking of a script.

Who Am I Working With?

I will be working with Luqman once again, this year. This is because we both think that if we work together, our work is much better planned out, and also the final outcomes of our work are also good. Some problems that might occur, would be choosing out our actors, as we always have an argument about what actors we will need, and how we will go out and about from getting them. To overcome these problems, we just have to work together, and figure out ways in which we can both help each other. This way, there won't be any difficulties in finding actors to film, or in any other problems that may come in our way.

Research

Considering we didn't get very high marks for our last project, we have decided to change the type of genre of film that we will be making this year. We took a deep look into a website, and have chosen to make a Romance film trailer. This is because we thought that it would be a much easier sub-genre that we could think of plots for.

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my A2 Media Studies Blog. My name is Flavio Alves, and I am currently attending Shirley High School Sixth Form. During my project, I will be creating a film trailer, plus 2 different film advertisers, including a poster, and a magazine cover. During this process, I will be taking you through on how I went about creating it, showing the variety of technologies, such as videos, presentations, animations, and pictures.
