Super 8 - Teaser Trailer

I have watched the teaser trailer for Super 8 a film Jj Abrams and Steven Spielberg.
Here is a link to the teaser trailer http://www.super8-movie.com/



I have looked at the characters, narrative, editing, mise-en-scene and sound. I have also looked at the conventions to a teaser trailer.

Super 8-

• Quick editing is used to show that it will be full of action, the clips are only a couple of seconds long which gives the effect that is flashes quickly to create suspense and build up.
• You see a big explosion which creates excitement which draws the audience in.
• You can hear explosions train noises and muffled voices over a handset which shows trouble, you can also see and hear a can skiding which shows
• Titles are used to give the audience an idea of where its located and what the genre could be, it says " part of Area 51 had to be closed in 1979" this shows that it could be linked to aliens as area 51 is rumoured to have evidence about aliens. This hints it could be a sci fi genre.
• The titles show the audience the producer who is Steven Spielberg, who is well known for his films and it shows the directer Jj Abrams who created Lost and Cloverfield which was very successful in the science fiction genre.
• Both director and producer have high production value
• Tense music is used to obviously create tension after the explosion has happened
• Another title says "it arrives", this does not tell us what is arriving and creates a mystery to what the creature could be
• From a carraige on the train you hear thumping and see bumps where the carraige has been hit so hard, it shows that what ever is inside the carraige wants to get out and is using force
• You also see the car that creates the explosion looks out of control like someone was fleeing, someone had been made to or something else was helping "it" escape.
• The titles seem to be fact, when really they are fiction for the film
• An enigma is created in this teaser because you dont know what "it" could be
• It tells you the time it could be released "Next summer, It arrives".
• Super 8 could have different meanings, Super 8 is a type of old fashioned camera and some people thought that it could be an alien spider.
• Flashing and flickering of lights is used to show the effects of the train crashing into the car.
• It is dark and is set at night time which creates and eerie atmosphere.

What is a Teaser Trailer?

A teaser trailer is a sneak preview to the film being released, it normally is only 30-60 seconds long and normally uses footage which is not used in the film. It is supposed to create hype so people want to see the theatrical trailer and then the movie. It normally doesnt give away the plot but it does show the main characters of a film. Sometimes a teaser trailer will be very simple and not show any characters at all just a clip with music and sound effects to create a sense of mystery.

Convensions of a Teaser Trailer-

• Quick cut shots
• 30-60 Seconds long of footage
• It creates a hype
• Makes an expectation of the film
• Sometimes footage that is not in the film is used
• Often says name of film, coming soon, next summer etc.
• Does not give away plot or narrative
• Its about the genre and sometimes shows the characters
• Some only use music
• Some are silent and have one piece of dialogue
• Text is used to show an understanding of parts like, Many years ago or in 1979.
