A teaser trailer or teaser is a short trailer which advertises an upcoming movie. These are normally about 30-60 seconds long and contain very little footage from the actual film. They are normally released a long time before the theatrical trailer to make people want more, this is where the name 'teaser' comes from as it teases them by not showing very much.

This is the teaser trailer for The Twilight Saga : New Moon.
There isn't one specifc genre for this movie but the main genres for it are Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Romance and Thriller.
This teaser starts of with it being relaxed showing a birds eye view of the sea and cliffs then fades into a shot of the main characters driving up to the house in a van. The tension then builds up when Bella cuts her finger and a vampire lunges for her. This makes you jump as they add a sound effect just as it happens to build tension. You can tell this could be a horror because of when she nearly gets attacked by a vampire, and then when the red eyed vampire threatens her. This teaser shows a lot of special effects in production like blood, stunts and transformations which would make the budget very high.
The movie started off with not well known actors who have because of the first movie in the saga have become world famous.

The Omen (2006)
Director: John MooreWriter: David Seltzer
Release Date: 6 June 2006
Genre: Horror, Thriller
Tagline: His Day Will Come
I think this is a really powerful trailer for a horror as it's taken in just one shot and is very drifting towards the main subject (Damien the boy) which creates suspense as it makes you wonder why the camera is leading you that way. The camera work has been used very successfully to focus the viewers eyes on what the directo wants them to see. When I watch it my focus is firsty looking at the dog, then as the frame moves right my view follows it just glancing at the toy pony then back again to the right edge of the frame until the little boy appears, my focus is then held on him for a while then looking around at the scenery, and then when it gets close to him my focus is locked on this face which seems dark and evil.
I like how there is no music added in and all the sounds are ?diegetic?. The natural sounds like the wind blowing add a weird and eerie effect, and I like how the creak of the swing has been emphasised to be louder than the other sounds so the audience knows this is the main focus. I think the simplicity of this teaser works really well so when you first watch it you wonder what it's about as it gives you no clues other than a boy all in red clothes sitting on a swing. The red clothes he's wearing makes me think of blood and gore. You can sense from this teaser that the young boy is the main character, but also that he's the bad guy just by the subjective gaze that he gives you.
