Research into action teaser trailers

Inception




Very limited information about the plot of the film is given away within the trailer, it is left up to the audience to try and guess what it is about - tempting them into watching the film to find out.  It instead it focuses on getting the audience interested in the film through using interesting special effects, camera shots and music. It is short in length at just over 1 minute. This is another trailer we have looked at that features captions, though this time stating the actor’s name (Leonardo Dicaprio – Star) rather than commentary on the film plot.




Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy




The trailer again features text on screen that asks rhetorical questions such as “How do you find an enemy that is hidden?” drawing in the viewer’s interest to finding out more about the film. It includes a variety of camera angles to draw attention to certain important elements in the scene, through close-ups etc. The trailer seems to stick to two limited colour palettes: blue/grey and brown/black, which may be setting the tone for the film.
