Trailer: A trailer is a number of selected clips from throughout the film that show off part of the film and give a brief, but vague story line, however these clips do not give any big spoilers to the main feature. These are used in ways such as a teaser trailer, which is a clip around 30 seconds to 1 minute long and its sole purpose is to draw in the audience and to build up excitement. The main trailer is called the theatrical trailer, this is a longer trailer that can reach up to 2:30 minutes and gives a deeper insight to the film.
Plot summary: This is the way that a trailer is set out, it is organised into 3 sections act 1,2 and 3. Act 1 is the start in which the the premise of the story is shown. Act 2 is is the section which drives the story and often ends with a climax. Act 3 is the ending which often shows a montage of clips and is accompanied by a piece of signature music that is strongly recognisable.
Voice over: this is a narration which tells the audience what is happening at certain points in the movie. It is also used to set an atmosphere through the voice actor used such as morgan freeman who is a very effective voice actor.
Music: the music sets the tone of the trailer and creates an atmosphere for the trailer. This music track is usually just used not the trailer and not in the full feature film.
Cast, crew and studio information: the cast run is the list of actors that will feature in the film. The billing block is the list of the cast and crew and is featured at the end of a movie or on posters.
Technical elements: sound mix - movie trailers are often presented by Dolby digital and sound effects are done by Stereophonics. Video resolution - movie trailers are in the same format as the full feature and are presented digitally or on 35mm film.
