How to use titles in trailers.

Titles in trailers are a must. They could even possibly be the most important part to a trailer due to it actually telling you what the film is called, and all the other important information. ie, the release date, tag line, main characters. No matter what type of film trailer or film the trailer is advertising it will have a title in it.  Every film teaser trailer has some form of written writing in it. Usually there is more written titles in the shorter teasers trailers than in a official longer trailer, due to more footage being shown in film and not described in words. And we are doing a teaser trailer so i have learnt from this topic that to satisfy our target audience we should involve quite alot of written titles. 






To view videos on full screen double click it.


As you can see here are two trailers for the same film, one is a teaser trailer and one is a official trailer. And when watching the shorter teaser trailer you can see that there are more written parts to it. As it has to do this as there is not as much video footage as in the full trailer. 


the titles in the trailers mostly consist of captions, and parts to the film it puts in words instead of showing it. so there isn't really any showing of characters names or things like that. then obviously the release date and the title of the film nearer the end, if not at the end


From doing this task i have learnt that teaser trailers have more written titles in them than the normal standard trailers. i have watched other examples on the internet so i know that it is not just a one off. that statement is consistently true. this will help us in the production of our teaser trailer as we now know to include quite a lot of written titles. but this is all dependent on how we decide to structure and produce our teaser trailer
