Comparison Between Offcial Trailers and Teaser Trailers

There are differences between a teaser trailer and the official trailer that are produced for a movie, the teaser trailer is released first and it is also shorter than the proper trailer. I find that the teaser trailer features more action compared to the official trailer, i think this is because they need to get people commited into wanting to see the movie way before the movie is actually released to get plenty of screenings. The offcial trailer shows slightly more detail as to what the movie is about, though it still doesnt give away totally what the movie is about as we need to watch the movie to find out. Teaser trailers are hinted in their name as to what their purpose is, as they are designed into teasing the viewers into watching the horror movie when it comes out.

 The film that I have used is the Crazies the teaser trailer only lasts 40 minutes long, and goes straight into the action with a girl lying on a bed in desperate need of help and a serious of action events which also include fire. It also includes intertitles that involes the audience into thinking into the film more carefully and what it is about like the end of days, also the pace of the teaser trailer is very quick and consists of flashing images. With the teaser trailer it also starts with everything going wrong and working backwards as at the end of the teaser trailer it features the begining of the movie where everything starts to go wrong, it also features a lot of information of how to look up about the movie.

 Where as official trailer lasts two minutes thirty four seconds which is a lot longer compared to the teaser trailer, and the trailer starts off happy by showing their everyday lives. It thens goes onto the begining of the movie where it shows a normal day where everything starts to go wrong at the game, and the first real voilence is a gun shot where as compared to the teaser trailer it was striaght into the voilence. The official trailer then starts to show the characters getting concerned over recent events and is gradually building up, then goes into short flashing images of events going wrong and peoples lives changing. About one minute seven seconds into the official trailer it starts to show the real volience getting us on the edge of our seats, by wondering whats going to happen to this character are they going to make it out alive it also gets us thinking why are these events happening. The scenes that was shown at the begining of the teaser trailer aren't shown until towards the end of the official trailer, as the pace of the official trailer is a lot slower and gradually builds up and like explodes into action. Also when it does explode more into the action it shows a lot more horror frames that scare the viewer, and makes the target audience wonder what happens in the movie as zombie movies are very popular with the target audience at the moment so the movie has a lot of competition.
