What is a Teaser Trailer? - Spectre

Spectre Teaser Trailer

Yet again the teaser trailer begins with the green screen that tells the audience the rating of the film has been approved. As i have said before, this is a reoccurring thing throughout the trailers therefore, i think that this is important to have at the beginning of our trailer.

We firstly see an establishing shot of the city that the film takes place in. This allows the audience to establish where the film is taking place easily. We then see a close up of a file. The women says that this file is from Skyfall. This instantly, allows the audience to know that the film is in the James Bond series and makes fans aware that they are watching a James Bond trailer without them even seeing James Bond or the title of the film.

The use of low key lighting allows us to not be able to identify who the shadowed figures are. This leaves the audience feeling like they need to know who these people are. It also creates a dark feel to the figures making the audience feel that these people are on the side we are not supporting.

I think the editing of this teaser trailer is effective as it fades in and out of different clips. This allows the audience to see different parts of the movie whilst it not being choppy and inconsistent. I think editing of trailers reflect on how the editing will be in the film therefore, i think this shows that the movies editing will match up to this high standard.

The use of non-diegetic sound through the well known James Bond theme tune is effective as it means that the audience instantly think of James Bond when they hear the music.
