Teaser Trailers

Teaser Trailers

I am going to be looking at two teaser trailers and analysing the conventions of each, and seeing how they compare to each other. The films I have chosen are Mary Poppins Returns and Black Panther. I decided to choice these films as they are both from different genres. Mary Poppins returns is a musical/fantasy film aimed mostly at younger children, families and fans of the previous Mary Poppins film, whereas Black Panther is an adventure and action movie produced by Marvel Studios who create many well known action films and have a much wider audience. Although the films are very different from each other both are distributed by Walt Disney Studios.

Mary Poppins Returns:

• Production company logo at the start.
• Impact sounds - wind blowing.
• Taglines, which are broken up by images - indicates brief information about the story line.
• Ideas from the previous film - significance of the kite and the boy flying the kite, same setting.
• Fade in fade out.
• A few characters shown - not developed.
• Name of film shown near the end.
• No dialogue until the final clip.
• First look at the new Mary Poppins.
• Non specific release date - Christmas.
• Social media hashtag.

Black Panther:

• A few characters shown but no development.
• Very brief storyline of what the film is about.
• Production company logo.
• Starts with a slow pace of editing and speeds up towards the end with a montage of scenes.
• Voiceovers from the film.
